Last second of audio clip is silent.

I have been getting this bug recently and its really starting to annoy me.
Almost daily I have to work on 30 second spots on AE and when I get sent an audio scratch track that is 30 seconds long I import it and when I play it back it plays fine until the last second where it just mutes. If I play this same file in any other program it plays fine. Im on CS5 on Mac OS X 10.6.3. The same file has no issue on a PC CS5 and we have no other Mac CS5 to test with. The files are created in Avid Media Composer then saved as a wav and sent to me. Even if I convert it it gives me problems.

It happens if I ram preview, or audio only preview, and even when I render out the file. If I look at the waveform its also gone. A curious thing is that when I get a full mix from out audio post house, the audio works fine, even though both files are 16 bit 48k. Im not sure what you mean by what are my preview setting set to. Also, I have an AJA Kona 3 card in my system and almost anything I import says AJA Importer in the "Type" column in my Project window, including these WAVs or AIFFs.

  • 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.

  • Last second of audio?

    I have a 30 second spot I'm editing for and finally cut it down to the very frame. It is 30 seconds perfect, unfortunately, when watching the rendered file my last second is clipped off. Is this a export setting? I've exhaustively searched the internet, but with no luck.
    Any and all help would be appreciated.

    Great news!
    I do agree with Jeff. If you can state the player, that exhibited this behavior, that might help others, who find this thread, and will also arm many of us with something else to mention, should we encounter such an issue, here or elsewhere.
    Thanks, and good luck,

  • HELP! No Audio Clip 01 Silent lost audio no sound

    Hello, need help with the following please:
    I have three projects that I created in imovie 4. I only imported them in iMovie 4 and then saved them on my external hard drive. I should note however that I had problems with that hard drive, i.e., sometimes not all folders/files would transfer just by dragging the main project folder. So I would have to manually drag media and cache subfolders. Continuing, I like to edit files from my internal hard drive, so I dragged the three projects back some weeks later. By this time however I had already upgraded to iMovie HD. The transfer back to the internal was not a problem. But when I opened one project and played the first clip “CLIP 01” there was no audio. But all other clips DID have audio. When I worked with the other two projects I had the same problem: only CLIP 01 had lost its audio. All three projects were were filmed in Digital8. I tried all of the following attempts at solving:
    -     restarting iMovie
    -     restarting the computer
    -     turning on/off different tracks in all possible combinations
    -     changing iMovie sound volume
    -     changing computer speaker sound volume
    -     extracting audio
    -     extracting audio with wave form
    -     showing clip volume levels and checking to see if those were at 0 %
    -     creating a new blank project, and importing CLIP 01 from one of the other movies to see if the audio would magically show up
    -     changing the name of CLIP 01 to something else
    after all these attempts failed, I went back to the original DV tape of one of the projects and imported the first clip, once again.
    Unfortunately, I have already re-used the tapes of the other two projects for filming something else.
    If anyone could offer any other solution, or has any idea what might be going on, why I lost my audio on only the first clip in three different occasions, I would really appreciate it. I want my audio back!!

    First of all, though it may not be relevant to you, Miguel, but it may be a warning to others: when using an external hard disc ALWAYS make sure that the disc is formatted as "HFS+" or "Mac OS" BEFORE you start copying anything onto it, as a disc formatted as something else (..e.g; PC DOS or Windows..) will lose some of the vital info about your stored files, and thus they'll NOT replay properly in iMovie!
    As all the rest of your clips, apart from Clip 01, seem to be OK, that doesn't seem to be your problem. I do remember someone else having this kind of trouble, but I haven't been here on this Discussion for a few weeks, so I may be a bit out-of-date, or have lost the original discussion about this ..so others may know more about solving this than I do.
    Try playing the clip in QuickTime, and see if the audio plays there. If so, Save the clip in QuickTime as a DV clip, and that ought to save the sound correctly, too. (The audio settings should be set as 48 kHz.)
    Sometimes a STILL frame at the very start of a movie corrupts the beginning (..possibly audio too; can't remember..) so if the very first item in your movie is a still frame, put a bit - any bit - of movie in front of that, just to 'kick start' iMovie as a movie player, instead of as a still picture player!
    These audio problems sometimes happen if the video has been recorded - in the camcorder - as "12-bit" or "32 kHz" audio. iMovie prefers audio recorded as 16-bit or 48 kHz audio. If you have your camcorder handy, and playing the clips in QuickTime (see above) doesn't help, try setting the camcorder's audio settings to 16-bit/48kHz, then exporting (.."Sharing"..) those clips back to the camcorder, then re-importing them. That just might fix it.
    I thought that Matti Haveri had an answer to this problem, but I've just searched thro' his replies in iMHD and in iM3/4 but can't find any reference.
    Perhaps he'll come and explain further if you call him.. put both index fingers to your head, and say "Matti Haveri, Matti Haveri.."

  • A few seconds of audio there, but silent

    I have a really weird situation. I am a long-time Logic user and my husband has been working a lot in Garageband 08. We recorded a vocal in Garageband(several takes), and cut it up quite a bit (to get the best part of each take). There are 2 sections where the first two words or so do not play, and then the rest kicks in just fine. I can see the waveform. All the audio is there - and once or twice, we opened it up and those sections played in full a couple of times before disappearing again. And, when I open the project in Logic, all that audio plays just fine.
    Incidentally, the missing sections are both like an eigth note before the "1". It's a pickup to the next bar, and there isn't anything from the bar before covering it up or anything. It's all "clear".
    Weird, huh? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Some suggestions:
    1) I assume the selected chunks are already joined as one region? If not, try joining them.
    2) Try copying and pasting the audio region you want onto a fresh track. Perhaps there is invisible automation or other problems infecting the bad track.
    3) Select all the tracks/regions in the song, and move them all forward, in sync, 2 measures. That way, there will be 2 empty bars at the beginning of the song, and the new beginning of the song will be measure 3 instead of measure 1.
    Good luck!

  • Audio Clip Fades

    I have a 6-second mp3 audio clip that I added to the audio that came with a 50-second mov video track, all of which I'm editing in Photoshop CS6.  The last few seconds of the audio fade to quiet.  I've double-checked its settings and there is no fade (0 sec) set for the audio clip.  When played by itself, the audio clip is loud throughout.
    Any idea why Photoshop fades the end of my audio clip when I play the psd video as well as when I render it?

    We know nothing about your system, your render settings, what tool you use to view your clips/ listen to the audio and a gigazillion otehr things. For all we know, this could be some auto-fade in your player.

  • .m4a Audio files clipped at last second or two.

    Whenever I import .m4a files into Premiere Pro CS3, which otherwise play fine anywhere else, the last second or so is cut off. If I convert the song to .WAV BEFORE importing, all is well. The PrProCS3 user guide does not explicitly indicate .m4a file type as supported. Is this the reason? Any thoughts or knowledge?
    I'm using Windows Vista 32-bit.

    The IDEA of Premiere editing any type of compressed file (be it video or audio) has been discussed, literaly, hundreds of times here
    The bottom line is that the actual FACT of editing this type of file, in spite of what Adobe says in their marketing materials, is that some people have success... and other people do NOT
    Some of this is attributed to whatever else (ie-codecs) is installed on the computer... and in what order (each time a codec is installed it puts an entry into the Registry to say that IT is "most important" and should be "seen first" in the list of codecs) and that can cause problems for Premiere, even with files that "should" work
    So... as you have found... convert to WAV

  • Adding audio clips in 30 second intervals

    Hello,
    I'm new to Adobe Premiere Elements and I'm glad to have found a forum with folks who have such extensive experience and knowledge about Adobe!  My situation...I would like to add audio clips ("beep") every 30 seconds to a video. (I want to collect data from the video.)
    What is the best (and easiest) way to do this?  
    Thank you in advance for your help!!
    mlv

    One can add a Marker by tapping the * key on the numeric keypad. You could do this every 30 sec. (you can drag any about, if you miss the cue). Then, I'd use a "beep" SFX file, and place one at each of these Markers. If you have an SFX file that has any pre-roll in it, first thing that I'd do is alter it in Audacity, or any sound editing program, so that the actual "beep" comes at the very beginning of the Clip, and do a Save_As, then Import that edited SFX file.
    Here is a list of possible sources for SFX (and music) files. Many are free, and some are for sale:

  • Audio clips show up as zero seconds (0s) when dragged to project library

    I can successfully drag music from my iTunes library into the project library window, but they show up as 0s (zero second) clips no matter what the actual size. Then when I view that music in Clip Trimmer, the entire length of music shows up. Unfortunately, once I close Clip Trimmer, the clip appears to be 0s again.
    This same problem shows up with any audio file, including the sound effects included with iMovie.
    How can I get my audio clips or music to show up in its full length?
    My version is 8.0.6 on Snow Leopard.
    Thanks!

    This is happening to me too. It's driving me up the wall!

  • IMovie moving audio clips when transitions are added

    iMovie moving audio clips when transitions are addedI have some video clips that need simple fades to black added at the end. However, whenever I add the fade out transition, iMovie does something insane. Instead of the last two seconds of video fading to black and the last two seconds of audio fading out, it seems that a random two seconds of audio from elsewhere in the clip is tacked onto the end and faded. This problem is nuts and I am having no luck finding a solution. Does anyone have one? This has happened with other transitions, but I’d settle for just getting a fade to black to work properly. Is this only a problem with Intel machines?

    The problem that you describe has come up frequently on this forum. There are lots of things people have tried, but no solution has been found, other than the workaround of extracting the audio, as Klaus 1 mentions, and manually adjusting the fade out. Some feel that it is an intel machine problem, but that is not clear.
    For more information on this issue, try using the search function of this forum, typing in "audio echo with transitions", or some other appropriate search words. You might find of interest the information contained in the following post:

  • Question...audio clips being cut off

    Hi...just started having this issue...audio clips, usually less than 20 seconds, are now being cut off at the last few seconds of the clip. Can't figure out wny it is happening or how to correct it. If I select Edit, Play Original, I can hear the full clip.

    Welcome to the PPRO forum, soneman28. We're going to need some more info.
    What version of PPRO are you running. Exactly (e.g., "6.0.5" or "7.0.1" = good; CS6 or CC = not good)
    exactly what kind of clips? The file type. The audio codec. And their source, too.
    if they're A/V clips (as opposed to audio-only), have you messed with the frame rate through the Interpret Footage dialog?
    Do you hit this problem both in the Source Monitor and with clips that have been added to a sequence (i.e., playing from the Timeline/Program Monitor)

  • Extend duration of audio clip ...

    An audio clip (music bed) automatically sets it's duration based on the duration of the project. My project is 18 seconds. The clip is just shy of one minute. Point is I know I have handles at the end of the audio clip to extend it's duration so that it continues to play for a few seconds after the last frame of the last clip in the project.
    How do I manually extend the duration of the audio clip?
    Thanks.
    -paul.

    Thanks.
    It's unbelievable that you cannot simply drag out the audio clip to extend it's duration if it's original duration supports this.

  • Merged Audio clip gets shortened

    Hello,
    When I use the "merge clips" function some of my newly created clips have shorter attached audio files when dropped into the timeline.
    I merged clips for hundreds of shots for a feature film with the "in point" for the merge. I have not set an end point for audio files when merging to accidentally make them shorter for merging. All appears good when I look at the merged clip in the "viewer". However, when I put some of the merged clips into the "timeline" the newly attached 'merged' audio clips are shorter than the video clips by a significant amount. I double click the merged clips and still see the audio is as long as necessary in the "viewer".
    Why are my merged audio clips getting shortened in the timeline?
    I tried to unlink the audio in the timeline, but the newly created merged audio file will not stretch out to the full capacity.
    Thanks for the help.
    Jason

    Hi.
    I have a bunch of audio & video files that last minutes in length that I am trying to link up for each shot. Some times it will be a 3 or 4 minute long take. When the audio is merged it only appears to be about 30 seconds long or less on the timeline. Yet, the entire original audio is minutes long.
    When I look at the merged clip the audio stream is as long as it should be. (minutes instead of seconds) But, when it is put onto the timeline the merged audio is significantly shorter and I can't stretch out the merged clip to the appropriate length.
    Thanks for reading and asking good questions.

  • How to delete my voice for one second in a clip?

    I've just gone through a fruitless attempt to take out my voice in a short second. It was what I said to my dog while videotaping the ducks. Meanwhile, I have great music playing in the background.
    When I clicked the Help menu and followed it several times, it gave me the opposite effect of what I wanted. The lesson is titled "Reduce the volume of competing audio clips." I figured that my voice in that clip was "a competing audio clip" but what resulted was losing the music that I chose for the video.
    I realized my error and hit the Undo button about ten times to get back to where I was before I began working on "ducking" my voice from the clip.
    THEREFORE THE QUESTION IS:
    How can I take away my voice of one second from the clip involved? I do not want to lose the music. I want to lose my voice talking to my dog in that clip.
    And the Help section did not help because I misunderstood it.
    -L

    I figured it out and it is now solved. The problem was that, incredible as it sounds now, I did not notice that my voice was on that blue track. Somehow I saw that track is part of the clip and not a sound track at the bottom, especially because other than my voice, there was no sound.
    Once I realized with chagrin that the blue horizontal band was the original sound track (along with video) it was easy to isolate my voice and bring down the volume.
    So by tonight my new movie will be on my blog!! I hope you see it.

  • How do I stop background audio clips from playing while browsing sites?

    Firefox is my default browser. I use Google chrome and Internet explorer sessions for background monitoring news site sessions at the same time. I have no problem with the other two browsers. While surfing with Firefox I get unwanted background audio clips that start and run by themselves. I cannot stop them. They run and then stop by their self. They are some sort of adware and I cannot find the source to remove them. I also get video clips sometimes that I can stop that run around the outside of the active window I am viewing. These is very annoying. I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it but the problem does not go away. I antivirus software, registry change protection software, and registry cleaning software. The problem is with the default browser.
    How can I locate and remove the plugin, addin or service that starts this annoying activity. I have no special unwanted toolbars installed. There is nothing in the installed programs list in the control that shouldn't be there.

    I had a similar problem to this. EVERYTIME i started firefox, it would play an audio clip from a flash game i played a while ago, it would last 5 minutes before finishing. i tried the starting in safe mode, but that didn't work for me, so after that i then tried RESETTING firefox, and that has worked for me.
    On another side of startup problems, firefox would also open up a new tab on startup, usually 22find.com or do-search.com. i know these are caused by a virus and have since deleted it, but it had changed a preference file in firefox causing it to continue to open on startup.
    Having since done the firefox reset, i haven't had either of these problems AT ALL! would recommend this as a possible fix for you friend before trying any lengthy troubleshooting process or downloading any extra anti-virus removal software.
    here's the like to showing you how to reset firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems
