Losing audio after rendering .dv files

Hey guys, I have a batch of .dv files I'm working with. After placing a video file on a sequence, it forces me to render before I can hear audio.
After the render, I get about 10 minutes of audio, then audio completely cuts off. This happens to every .dv file I have. I'm pretty much at a loss on what to do (maybe convert the .dv to .mov quicktime files?).
Thanks in advance!

I don't know what's up with the audio, but .DV files aren't something FCP likes. Convert them to QT in Compressor or QT Pro or maybe even iMovie if that's where they're coming from. Then make sure you're using them in a sequence with their native settings (presumably NTSC DV) and you won't have to render any more.
Hopefully the audio quirk will go away as well.

Popping and clicking in audio of rendered project files since installing OS Maverick. Any suggestions?

I have a project which I rendered a few months ago with no issues. Now after installing OS Maverick, the exact same project will render but the audio has popping and cracking in it. The audio sounds fine when played in the timeline, the issue only occurs when rendering. I have alread tried selecting prevent app nap and also i tried to delete rendered files and neither have worked.
Has anyone had a similar issue or have suggestion for fixing this problem?

swdm75, you may be a bonafide genius - I've been dealing with this issue for YEARS, and it never occurred to me that it could be a Quicktime issue!
I just rendered a project, played it back in Quicktime, and the audio had all sorts of stutter.
Sigh. Great, what the **** do I do know?
I read your Quicktime hypothesis, copied the file over to my PC, played it in Windows Media Player...
...NO MORE STUTTERING!!!
The issue is almost certainly Quicktime - the stutter isn't a permanent part of the rendered audio, its a failure on the part of the player!
Dude, I can't thank you enough for posting this - I've had stuttering issues since I started using FCPX, and this is the first I've read about it being a Quicktime issue.
You rock.

Premiere pro cc losing audio after save and close

Though I can see the wave form, audio won't play back after save, close and reopening of project. Not every file is affected. If I reimport track, audio will work again, but this is causing me to lose TONS of editing work when I have to start over again and then I'm afraid to close project.
Any ideas?

I am having this same issue in PPro CC. I am editing multi-source material from interviews that were 2-3 hours long. The audio was recorded separately and the wave files ran the entire length of the interview. 44100kHz, 16-bit wav files. It happens after I reopen the project to only some (5%?) of the audio files I imported into the project, not all.
When I re-open the project, the audio data within the wav file will shift forward, so that the back end of the clip will show green/grey diagonal striping signifying the deadspace left when the audio data shifted forward. This is only visible when the entire file is in a sequence. In sequences where it is just a clip from the *shifted* file, the clip will either play dead space if the clip is from the end of the *shifted* file or audio from the wrong part of the file since it's time reference is shifted. The only work around is to import the file again and re-cut, but its killing my work flows. I'm editing 56 interviews, each of 2-3 hours and I can't waste time re-cutting my deliverables each time there's an a revision.

Losing audio when editing .mov files...

I have 4 .mov video files that are parts of 1 video. I can't get them into Apple TV, but I wanted to join them together in one video, anyway. I'm not having any luck doing that. (I have the right to have these videos.)
I can bring them into a sequence in FCP 6.0.6, and even export them in a form that I can put on my Apple TV. But I lose the audio, which makes them useless.
Probably worth noting: When I bring these small .mov files into my sequence, I can see them and scrub through them, but I can't play them at all (they all have the red line indicating they need to be rendered first). I have the latest iMac 27" with the i7 processor and two internal drives, so I can't see why they'd have to be rendered first. They are really low-quality, small files (around 3MB each).
Can anyone tell me what the problem might be? Thanks for any advice.

FCP only works natively with formats listed in the Easy Set Up list. It does NOT work natively with many formats that are intended for final delivery like MPG-4, h.264 and others. If you import those types of files into FCP they WILL need to be rendered. But it is better to first convert those files before you import into FCP. That fact that you can't hear the audio may indicate you're using a muxed format that will need to be demuxed for editing.
This information is easily found in the User's Manual. It sounds like this would be a good time to read the basics.

No audio after importing AVCHD files

I have a Sony HDR-SR10 and when I import the AVCHD files into Premiere Elements 9.0 there is no audio track in the timeline and I can not hear the audio either. I've been reading all the other suggestions to this problem on the threads but I still have not been able to fix it. I do not have the trial version and the audio on my computer works fine, in fact when I play the videos in other programs, Picture Motion Browser and HP MediaSmart, I can hear the audio. I have tried importing both m2ts, mts and mpeg2 files but the audio still doesn't work. I have tried importing the video with both HD 1080i 30 5.1 channel and HD 1080i 30 both with no luck. Please let me know what else I can try to do in order to get the audio working?

My Project Settings are HDV 1080i 5.1 Channel.
My camera manual indicates the audio compression format is Dolby Digital 2/5.1ch Dolby Digitial 5.1 Creator
I read the Conforming article and I'm not really sure how I know if this process is complete? Should I get an error message if it doesn't conform?
I read your Audio article yesterday when I was trying to fix this. I have a brand new computer so the audio drivers are all up to date. When I go to the ASIO settings it lists my Speakers, RealTek High Definition Audio and I have that checked. Do I need to check Device 32-bit playback or not?
Another thing I forgot to bring up is that when I put an mp3 that came with Premiere in the timeline I can hear it fine. This makes me think that it has more to do with the file type that I'm importing rather than any audio settings?

CS4 Media Encoder Crash after rendering - two files, help?

I'm not a professional so I would appreciate any advice you can offer. I was encoding a WMV HD video (edited in Premiere Pro from CS4) that was just under 2 hours long. On an i7-920 with 9GB of RAM, it took just over 16 hours. At the end of the encoding, the Media Encoder bar displayed 0:00:00 time left. But it then froze at that point for about 30 minutes. Then the program crashed. I planned to take these WMV files and put them, via Encore, onto a dual-layer DVD with a few other special feature-related videos.
I now have two versions of the file in the destination folder, one that has the title I gave it and another that has a "._00_" before the title. Both files are .wmv files and the one with the normal name is 6.64 GB whereas the one with the ._00_ before the name is 6.60 GB. Both have problems if I try to play them beyond the 60% or so point.
Is there a way to salvage these files without another 16 hour render?
How long should I expect, on a normal/successful render, for Media Encoder to continue to process the file after the countdown reaches 0:00:00?
Thanks. Any advice for this very untrained editor would be appreciated.

On the topic of opening a project on the exact same version of Premiere Pro CC 2014 (yes it is definitely up to date, and the 2014 version), to overcome this export crash problem that ZachHinchy has brought up - you can't. Technically speaking, one should easily be able to open a Premiere Pro CC 2014 project from one system on another system running the exact same up to date, legitimate version of Premiere Pro CC 2014 without any kind of error. But for some reason, this has been disallowed(?) by Adobe. It has facepalm written all over it. Does anyone agree that this is at least a little bit silly?
I have tried exporting a Final Cut Pro XML from my project to try and open the sequence at uni on a Mac, so I can render my project when I finish my edit. It half works - the clips are there, but the sequence is gone - i.e. 12 hours of painstaking sequencing and micro-edits that had me at several points in time wanting to insert my hand through my monitor with enough force to make a large hole. I really cannot afford redo this sequence, as my assignment is due tomorrow, and I have to work at 6 oclock in the morning, so I also cannot afford to stay up till the early hours of tomorrow morning. Wish me luck that some miraculous event has taken place overnight that will somehow allow me to just open my project, on the same version of Premiere, on a Mac, without hassle. (Apple OS is not friendly to anything but its own selfish nature, so I am having doubts).
Adobe please, if you can do anything at all to help, you will save my assignment, and my faith will be restored. Otherwise, I'll just get my money back and buy Final Cut instead.
I cant even
If I find a way to fix either of these problems, I will post straight away.

Losing audio importing a VOB file V8 sound when

I hope someone can help - loosing the audio when inporting
a VOB file. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Tony

1) goes into a loop
2) Conforming
3) Indexing
4) then starts over again.
I have converted to an AVI file - and okay. Suspect a setup issue?
Not sure what is happening here.
Lets look at #2 and #3 for a moment: Conforming is a two part process, and is necessary to edit. All Audio streams are Conformed, which is a conversion from their specs. to 32-bit Floating Point so that one can edit. This will happen with all Audio files, and is quickest with certain Audio specs., like 48KHz 16-bit. Others, like 44.KHz 16-bit take just a moment longer, and some specs. will require even more time. At this time, the PEK files are also created. These are what one sees as the Waveform Display, when the Clip is on the Timeline. That is the little symbolic Audio Wave, that is displayed.
Indexing is a process that takes place when one has a file format/CODEC other than DV-AVI Type II, and is most common with MPEG source files. This process gets the files from a GOP (Group of Pictures) into a full I-Frame format, so that one can edit at the Frame level.
You say that you converted to AVI. What were the specs. of those converted AVI files? "AVI" is but a wrapper, not totally unlike the VOB container. They can contain all sorts of "stuff." For editing in an Adobe program, one wants DV-AVI Type II, which is a very specific AVI, and has certain characteristics. Those characteristics are exactly what PrE wants to edit. If you are getting Indexing, it would seem very likely that your AVI's are NOT DV-AVI Type II. This ARTICLE will give you some background on "AVI" as a wrapper.
If you are not sure of the specs. on the AVI's that you converted to, that article will give you the link to the great, free utility, G-Spot. Use it to tell you exactly what type of AVI you ended up with.
Good luck, and hope that this helps,
Hunt

PE8 - No audio in rendered clip

I'm getting no audio after rendering, but do have sound before rendering. I've checked all the settings I know to check!
The PE8 audio hardware preference is set to 'Premiere Elements WDM Sound'. Is this a device that should show up in Device Manager? If so it isn't there. No problems with sound on any video except for PE8 rendered clips. I'd appreciate some help.
System:
Win7 Pro, 64-bit
ATI Radeon HD5850, Catalyst 10.2 driver
ASUS P6T motherboard
6 GB DDR3
Core i7 950 (stock clock)
BTW, PE8 bombs from time to time for no apparent reason. I gather from reading other posts that nobody else is having this problem? Ha! Also have Cyberlink PowerDirector but it rarely crashes. Sorry, had to get some gigs in.
Thanks,
Justin-H

As far as PowerDirector goes, I have an older version (think it is 10, but cannot recall clearly), and it has actually crashed more than my PrE 4. Now, in all fairness, I use it to handle some really odd CODEC files, and basically convert with it, for editing in PrPro. My observations do not reflect either the newer versions, do not compare with PrE 8, and also include some very difficult footage. Still, it goes down about 1:5 sessions, while PrE 4 has only "hung it up" twice, and at least one was OE on my part, while the other was definitely a resource issue, as I did not utilize my own tips in this ARTICLE.
Just some personal observations and not a controlled test,

Red frames in Adobe Premiere after rendering

Hi! I have a big problem since some months. After rendering .MTS files out of my Canon Leghria HFS in Premiere CS6 there appear red frames from time to time. This is also an issue after exporting them in Adobe Media Encoder. I already contacted Adobe concerning this problem but unfortunately nobody could help me there. I am not alone with this problem when - looking in the help forums in internet. But no hint really helped me out yet. Is there someone who knows this issue and can give me a helping hand? Great thanks!!

Try the trial version of this and convert the media. Then let me know if you are still getting the frames.

I have a few wedding projects(1-2 hours)I am trying to export at full hd quality,than burn in idvd. After rendering for 8hrs I receive error code that states "file is too big". Please help? compressing tips without losing quality? or any other exporting alternatives?

Hey Z,
Thank you for the tip on exporting by media browser (large) from imovie. But of course, if it's not one thing it's another. Now that I figured how to export a large file from imovie, I have an idvd issue. I followed the instructions for burning from idvd and changing the encoding to professional quality and the burn speed to x4, but I am receiving an error that states the following,
Your project exceeds the maximum content duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the Project Info window.
Project:
- total project duration: 79:04 minutes
- total project capacity: 4.327 GB (max. available: 4.172 GB)
Menus:
- number of menus in project: 1 menus
- total menu duration: 0:39 minutes
- total menu capacity: 37.370 MB
Movies:
- total movies duration: 78:25 minutes
- total movies capacity: 4.291 GB
I have searched in the idvd forum for similar issues and I am stumped at this point. I have tried deleting the encoding assets and re launching idvd with the changed preferences, and still the same error. I know you mentioned something about free hard drive space available, and I have very little left. 4GB to be exact due to massive hours of non-edited footage. I am not sure if this is why, but I do not recall ever needing free space to burn memory onto a separate dvd. I would be more than happy if I am wrong, and it would be a quick fix. Otherwise, the technical nightmare continues. It's all a learning process and your expertise is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Audio losing sync after files are imported to FCP?

Hi Guys. Bit of an odd one and i've been digging around but haven't found anything yet.
I am having an issue with footage in FCP losing audio sync to the extent that even though the timeline clips appear to be the same length, the audio starts slightly earlier and is cut of at the end of the clip. It 's almost as thought the audio and video timelines are running at different frame rates but the problem starts earlier than that.
I am cutting a showreel together and it's a bunch of 30sec tvc's. All of them play fine off the desktop no sync issues at all but once imported to FCP the audio is all over the place even before i put into the sequence. At first i thought it may be a processing thing so i opened up couple of music clips that i had cut that were a little more sound and graphics intensive. They played out fine. The Media is coming of a 12TB RAID5 with 9TB usable storage. All the disks are in good health. I'm running 7200rpm seagate barracudas and never had problems before today.
I tried opening up a new project and starting from new but still no joy. I was running audio through external speakers which would account for a delay but not to this extent. and i also tried just using the built in speakers to be sure.
The video is compressed to ProRes 422(HQ) 720p 48khz sac audio data rate 79mbits
Thoughts???
Thanks
J

Kept digging and answered my own question, I had verified everything except the source video's frame Rate which was compressed at 22FPS for some odd reason. I didn't do the initial compression so assumed it was cool. Once I recompressed the Source to 25FPS it was all smiles. even though the original compression had the AV in sync it appears that FCP doesn't like non standard frame rates and the 22FPS was throwing the audio out of wack.
Thanks

No Audio In After Effects CS5.5(Even after rendering)

I currently have the After Effects CS5.5 Trial Version installed. I am running into a bad audio problem. For the first 2 days I have used it, the audio was fine, it played automatically and I didn't even have to render first to get it. Then, the third day, I got on that day and the audio jsut flat out didnt work. I did look it up on the forums and google, and nothing helped. I have tried rendering(with audio), using different video files and clips, and even reinstaling the trial. Nothing worked. The RAM Preview plays sound fine, and when I double-tap "L", the soundwaves do show, and they are accurate when played on the preview. I have tried WMV, AVI, and mp4 files, none of which have worked. I can edit and add effects and import picture and other files fine, but the audio simply doesnt work. I can't get audio by playing it normally.
I know it is not usual to ask questions about the trial, or to even have them answered, but this is important because I want to buy After Effects CS5.5, and before I do, I need to know if this is a computer problem, or if I did something to mess up the program, or if there is even a way to solve it. I don't want to buy it and realize I can't even use it with audio for some reason.
P.S. I am fairly new to this, so if you blast me with some complex, in-depth instructions, please try to make it rather simple, or just explain it well.
Thank You and sorry for the inconvenience,
Chris Madaras

> I can't get audio by playing it normally.
You said that audio played when you used RAM preview. That is how you play audio.
See this:
"FAQ: How can I play or preview sound (audio)?"
...and this:
"FAQ: Why is there no audio (sound) in my output file?"
Since you're new to After Effects, I very strongly recommend that you work your way through the materials here:

Audio delay after rendering

Hello,
I'm a YouTuber from Poland who puts on my channel movies (named commonly gameplays) from variety of games. I rendered about 250 gameplays using Premiere Pro CS5.5 and CS6. Except for the raw video from the game, I also render my gameplays adding the video from internet camera and sound of my voice from TeamSpeak (material from the game, camera and teamspeak are recorded separately).
Recently I encountered a very wierd problem with my Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 - audio from the game is delayed after rendering movie. My voice is rendered as it should be with no delays.
Everything was fine earlier, I had no problems! And I haven't changed (consciously) anything at all im my Premiere Pro CS6 settings nor in my hardware. What is more important, when I render only half of the sequence or some part, audio is okey and there are no delays - therefore this excludes a hypothesis about beeing something wrong with my recording settings. It seems that is happening only when I render video from the beginning...
It may be important to say, that normally I record all videos with MSI Afterburner but recently I installed FRAPS on my computer. And than this problem came out. I have no idea how that may be related but it's just an observation. After instaling FRAPS I had another problem with memory paging file - games were closed when I recorded with MSI Afterburner due to insufficient virtual memory. Never had this problem either. I uninstalled FRAPS, reinstalled MSI, installed FRAPS again and now I don't have that problem. Another weird thing going on...
Edit
When I close Premiere Pro CS6 I receive a message that Adobe Media Core CS6 stopped working... may it be related?

Tammy,
If we've dropped a bit of time for this part of the edit, you now have time for more fun aspects of it.
While I will casually monitor my Meters, I spend much more time with a good set of noise-canceling headphones, listening critically. The Meters are basically to point up potential issues. With Audio, if you have not invested in a really good set of headphones, do yourself a big favor, and sneak 'em into the budget.
Glad that you got things toned down.
Now, let's go on to Lesson 02 - The Audio Mixer. Unlike adding Keyframes to a Clip, when your cutting is done, you can apply Track Keyframes to attenuate (also Pan, etc.) you Audio Tracks to suit. One would just change the Send in that Track to Write, or Touch, and "ride the gain" with the slider, as is required. I probably do most of my Audio editing there, than addressing the individual Clips. First thing that I have done is cut back a bit on the frequency of the Track Keyframes in Edit>Preferences, as I find the default to add too many (and you can go in and adjust these by hand, if you need to "smooth" things out a bit.). One caution: do this when you are satisfied with the cuts, Clip placement, etc., as these Keyframes are applied to the Track. If you were to remove a Clip, and replace it, those Keyframes would apply to that new Clip, whether you want them to, or not. This trips some folk up, if they do the Audio Mixer thing too soon in the editing. Wait until you are "in love" with your Timeline otherwise. It's like scoring a Project. One does that as about the very last step, or much work will be repeated, and that is not fun.
Good luck,
Hunt

Audio problem after rendering!

Hi everyone! I am having a problem with sound in my project after rendering. I am using Adobe Premiere CS2 , and in Audio track 1, I have someone speaking, and in track 2 I have backround music. When I play it back in the window, together it sounds perfect. After rendering, the voice becomes very crackly and distorted. I have tried rendering just the voice without the backround music, and it sounds perfect. It seems the addition of backround music is causing the distortion to the other track. I have tried rendering the backround music seperately and adding it in, but still the problem persists. I adjust the music so that when the kids are talking, the music dips down, and when they are not, I leave it at it's normal level. HELP..I am losing my grip on this one! Thanks so much....Tammy

How do I import images from my hard drive without losing resolution? My original files after import are significantly smaller. What should I do?

How do I import images from my hard drive without losing resolution? My original files after import are significantly smaller. What should I do?

Hi Keith, and all others chiming in, I do have the correct option checked in advanced settings telling iPhoto to copy the images into the library. What is a refernced library? Perhaps this is where I am getting confused. I exported my entire photo library from an old iMac5 to my external hard drive, from there I attempted to import the entire library to my new iMac. Am I overlooking an obvious and easy way to import from the hard drive to the new iMac--I dragged the entire photo pholder from the hard drive to the open window of iPhoto on the new computer. Now, I only get preview file sizes in iPhoto, unless I have my external drive open. Perhaps I need to import the original images from the hard drive in a different way...?! (This is making me feel pretty stupid.)
