Loss of audio panning effects with timeline audio of Sync type "Stream"

I have a Flash animation which is loaded into a parent master Flash file. In the animation, there is voice audio embedded in the timeline which is synced with a character animation. The Sync type of the audio is set to Stream, which is essential for the mouth movements to match the audio. When I try to pan the voice audio so that it comes only out of the right speaker, it sounds fine during preview playback, but after publishing, all of the panning effects are lost. If I change the Sync type to "Event" or "Start", the panning effects work fine, but the audio is terribly out of sync with the animation.
The source audio is a mono audio file. Not sure if that has anything to do with it. I've tried changing the publish settings for both the parent and the child animation Flash files to be Speech, Mp3 mono, Mp3 Stereo and just about every other option, with no desirable results. I have also tried publishing and running the animation without loading it through the parent file, also no results.
Is there some kind of rule in Flash about Stream versus Event audio and panning? Do I need to use a stereo audio source file? I don't currently have access to the original audio files, but I can get them. Are all Stream type sounds automatically converted to mono at runtime or something??
Thank you thank you thank you

According to the Adobe installation information the trial version of Premiere Elements 11 is fully functional and the watermark is only present until a licence code is purchased.
I have edited AVI footage from a camcorder using the program with no problems (and no loss of audio sync) and the watermark is also present with this.
The odd placement of audio and video was caused by my not dragging the clip carefully enough.
What is odd is that the clip plays completely normally using WIndows Media Player and VLC Media player so I would expect Premiere Elements to be able to handle it without problems.
I think that there is some sort of bug in Premiere Elements' handling of mpe4 files (both in versions 10 and 11) rather than there being anything wrong with my computer.
Is there some way of communicating this directly to the Adobe programers ?
I enclose screenshots of the project settings:

Adjusting Audio Pan in the Timeline

In the FCE 3.0 help pdf. manual there is a heading for a section: "Adjusting Volume Levels and Pan in the Timeline," but I can't find anywhere that it says anything about adjusting the pan in the timeline, just the levels.
I know how to adjust pan in the viewer, but is there actually a way to do it in the timeline also?

Martin, Thanks, but actually the sound mix on my project is presently quite complex as a clip by clip change in balance from left to right (depending on whether dialogue, sound effects, music, etc.) and I plan on adjusting the pan on each clip individually to especially retain the stereo effect of the music. I just thought it was sort of confusing that the help manual has a section heading on how to adjust pan in the timeline but then doesn't address the issue.
Thanks again, I may end up taking your advice.
Hi Fran,
The only way I know of doing it to all of your
clips in the timeline at once would be to select one
audio clip, and adjust the pan to center (which is
what I believe you want to do, based on your earlier
post). Then select all other audio clips in
the timeline and do Paste Attributes (of course,
having selected just the Pan attribute before
clicking OK in the Paste Attributes window.
For more info, look under "Copying, Pasting &
Removing Clip Attributes" in your FCE manual. In the
FCEHD manual it's in Ch. 16 "Editing in the
Timeline"
Good luck

No sound effects with firewire audio device

I use an external (firewire) sound device for better sound. When I'm in a call, the audio output is routed correctly to that device. But, sound fx, such as when someone sends me an IM or when someone is calling are NOT routed to that device. If I unplug the firewire device, I do hear the sound fx through my macbook speakers. So, if skype is on my side monitor it's very easy for me to miss IMs and calls because I don't hear the sounds. This makes me look very unprofessional to my colleagues. Basically anyone who uses a mac for professional audio/video is going to have an external audio device. Please fix this bug!

Audio levels on the timeline & Audio Mixer

I'm confused why when you change the audio levels on a clip using the Audio Mixer it changes the levels for everything on the track?
I'm from an FCP & Avid background where you can adjust each clip using the Audio Mixer, is there a way I can do this? I find using the yellow sliders in each clip is very unaccurate and having to open each audio clip in the viewer is such a time waster.
Thanks, Andy

Audio in Premiere Pro is different--but quite a lot, in many circumstances. I'd recommend going through the help file's audio section to get a better idea of what some of the main controls are: Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 & CS5.5 * Editing Audio
But to answer your question more directly: the Audio Mixer controls track volume, not clip volume. By default, the Audio Mixer isn't set to drop keyframes, so it will affect the level of a track as a whole; check out Recording audio mixes to get more background on setting up the Audio Mixer for automation, so that you can record level changes.
The rubberbands (the yellow lines you're referring to) can be more finitely controlled by holding down the Ctrl/Cmd key as you drag; the values will move in smaller increments, then.
You don't have to load a clip into the Source Monitor to adjust the levels, if you want to adjust by the numbers. Just single click a clip in the sequence, and if the Effects Controls panel is forward, you'll be able to adjust the volume with the standard effects sliders/dials. Note that keyframing is enabled by default for the Level property, so if all you want to do is adjust the total level of a clip, it might be faster to do it in the sequence.
Audio mixing in Premiere Pro is pretty capable and the feature set is pretty deep, but I'll grant you it's a little overwhelming coming from a different NLE. I don't know if any of the previous helps you, but post back with any specific questions and we'll try to figure out a way to approach this in a fashion that makes sense to you.

No audio on files with multiple audio tracks

All my files that have multiple audio tracks (e.g. stereo and surround) no longer have audio when I initially start up my Apple TV 2. When I manually change the audio track in the menu (from stereo to surround or vice versa), I get the sound back but I would have to do this with every single file and do this each time I start up my Apple TV. Anyone else notice this problem. This only started happening after the most recent update.

Audio driver disfunctional with m-audio USB Audiophile

I just bought the iMac Intel core duo. External audio through the usb Audiophile doesn't work (sufficiently) . First of all the USB Interface works irratically. Secondly when it does work, there exists a lot of noise. Installing updates does not work. Under 'system preferences' - 'other' I am unable to open the m-audio icon. Adjusting through 'Applications' - 'Utilities' - 'Audio Midi Setup" only degrades the sound quality!
Anybody any ideas.

thought I'd try to shed some light on this, so you're not alone in this disfunctional boat. yeah, my oxygen 8 doesn't work either, it shows connected but doesn't respond to anything. additionally, my tascam us-122 doesn't work. turns out from reading m-audio online, they're going to add drivers, but who knows when. thought i'd let you know. as for the tascam, i'm screwed for now.

Unapplying Audio FX effect

Is it possible to undo an Audio FX effect on single audio clips? I know I can click the undo button, but suppose I want to come back later and undo the effect after I've clicked saved numerous times? "Revert to original" doesn't appear to apply to audio clips.
By the way, I've found that Audio FX effects render faster if you first extract the audio from it adjoining video clip.
Thanks any and all feedback and/or work arounds for this. Audio FX seems pretty useful, especially the noise reduction and the reverb--if done correctly--to boost the sound. Of course, this is my first time working with these type of audio effects in digital editing.

Check out the iMovie 6 Help topic Removing transitions, titles, and effects
To remove a transition, title, or effect:
Do one of the following:
To remove a title or effect, select the clip or clips that contain the title or effect you want to remove in the clip viewer or timeline viewer.
To remove a transition, select the transition's icon (shown above) in the clip viewer or timeline viewer.
Tip: If you want to select all your transitions at once, select a transition and choose Edit > Select Similar Clips.
Press the Delete key.

Adjusting multiple mono audio tracks with the Audio Mixer

Anybody know how to adjust multiple mono audio tracks simultaneously with the audio mixer? If your tracks are stereo, one fader will control two faders or audio tracks. Suppose you have 6 mono audio tracks and don't want to pull down each fader separately. Is there a way to pull down one fader and have the others locked to it, or controlled by it?

Not with the sliders, but you can adjust levels with ctrl [ and ctrl ] (I think, not at fcp right now).
The autoselect buttons (to the right of the lock icons, at the head of the timeline) tell fcp which track to adjust...

Audio special effects in Pr12

I'm back! I want to add the "reverb" audio special effect to an audio clip I have. [using Premiere Elements 12 on a WinPro7 computer]. This is what I've done:
click on the audio clip
open special effects and open audio special effects
click on 'reverb' (the outline is now blue) and drag the reverb box onto the audio clip.
The effect is on/in the clip (can check it with 'adjust special effects'), BUT when the clip is played, there is a ratcheting noise. I have tried the "delay" effect as a diagnostic tool, and it added just fine. It's just not the effect I want.
Ideas any one?
Thank you.

Hello,
I'm sorry to have waited so long to reply. I guess the holidays got in the way....and, football. And, now I have 3 topics.
ONE
I tried MANY things about the REVERB effect with no success....either (1) I could not hear that the reverb was working (and, I've used it before in Pr4 and could tell a difference) or (2) that ratcheting noise was still there.
The main thing I did was create new (test) Pr12 files with only the audio that was the problem or with other audios [i.e. songs 'ripped' from purchased CDs, purchased songs from iTunes (either MP3 or WAV formats), sound effects I have from many various sources, including the ones that come with Pr12]. No help. Soooo, if I MUST have reverb on an audio clip, I think I'll just use my XP machine and its Pr4 and then export that audio clip to use in the Pr12 file...if that works, and I think it would. Thank you for that help.
TWO
To continue a thread we had about file size and DVD disc capacity.....I have included 2 screen shots....the first one is to show the file size I just burned on a 4.7 GB DVD.
You can see that the file is 5.587 GB.
Now, here is what the screen showed me in Pr12 when I was preparing to burn the disc.....notice that the "fit contents" box is UNchecked, and I slid the button to the right for HIGHEST quality. Notice it says "space required" is 1.64 GB. This is what I was trying to get across when several of us were discussing "file size" vs disc capacity. Does this mean I can put more on a given disc? That would be cool if I could.
THREE
And, last but not least, is there a way to reduce the volume of the MENU volume if it comes with its own audio? I am using "Outdoor Adventure", and its volume is INTENSE versus what I have mixed in the file. I have looked in my Pr manual, but it doesn't say much. I guess I should first look in the forum for the answer to this, but I'm spoiled with your terrific help.
Have a good day, and thank you.

I'm trying to reverb an audio clip in my timeline and I can't find the effect tab in the browser to drag to my audio clip to reverb. I can reverb the clip in the viewer but can't it won't drag to the timeline. I'm using FCE

You cannot drag the effects themselves to the timeline. You add them to a clip in the Viewer, just as you have done.
If the clip was already in the timeline when you opened it in the Viewer (by double-clicking it in the timeline to open it in the Viewer) and then added the reverb effect, there is nothing further to do, you have added the effect to the clip. You don't drag it back to the timeline.
You only have to drag the clip to the timeline if the clip was not already in the timeline (for example, if you opened the clip from the FCE Browser; or set different In and Out points in a master clip to use a different portion of the master clip in a different location in your timeline).
Depending on the effect you add, you may have to render the timeline after adding the effect. But I don't think reverb requires immediate rendering. One other note, you said you were working with an audio clip ... audio clips need to be AIFF (not MP3 or something else) and preferably 16-bit stereo.

Moving clips en masse on timeline (with imported audio)

Here's what I want to do: I just arranged a group of clips on my timeline. I realized after I did this that they are in the wrong place, so I need to grab them all (there're about 15 in a row) and move them to another place on the timeline. The thing is, they need to inserted in-between a bunch of clips that are all smack together. So what I need to do is create a space between two of these clips and then paste my new collection of clips in that space.
Thank you for your help!

Hi James!
You don't need to make a space for them to drop into.
Select all the clip by holding down the shift key while you click on the first and last of the clips, then they will drag en masse to the desired location and make their own gap!
If that location is too far down the timeline to be seen, park them in the clips pane, move the timeline, then drag them to the desired position.Make sure sure you don't click anything or you will 'unbundle' them.
As to your second question, you just need to lock the audio to the playhead. Place the playhead at the point where you want the audio to stay in relation to the clip, go to Advanced menu and click on 'lock audio at playhead'. Now the audio will move with the clip.

Trouble with denoiser audio effect when exporting help!!!

I have been working on a school assignment for media on Adobe Premiere Pro CC and have come across a very frustrating issue that I have no idea about how to solve. it goes under the category of a 'technical difficulty'.
As I have alot of interviews and talking in my project for my Documentary I am shooting on Bullying for my Current Affair I have alot of audio to deal with and with my Rode VideoMic Pro when in conversation in the midst of an interview there is a constant 'hiss and crackle' that one can hear when watching hence I have used the audio affect of "DeNoiser" to get rid of this and it seems to work great on my workflow in my sequence in Premiere as I have reduced most clips to -15Db's. But when I export my project as I have done several times,the 'Denoiser' affect doesn't work for the first 3 seconds + for all clips that I have used to affect for. At the start of all the clips used with the affect there is a constant hiss and crackle and after 3 seconds it fades out??? Please help me with this very unusual problem as I want this to be a fantastic film on your fantastic software!
Thanks

Is the music on a separate track, or recording live during the interview? Hopefully the music is separate, and if so then do the following:
In Premiere, right click on the audio clip that contains the voice and choose export to Audition. Premiere will export the clip into Audition (and it will update on the timeline when saved in audition).
In Audition, highlight a piece of the clip that is noise only, (a sizable gap when there's no talking and only the ambient noise of the room is heard) capture that as a noise print (right click, "capture noise print" or Shift-P). Then in Effects, select the 'Noise reduction (process)" tool. (Note: I assigned a custom key for easy access as I use it frequently). Then tweak the settings of the tool until it sounds good to you.   You can follow the settings I have posted above as a guide/starting point, but no two settings will work for every situation, (notice how I chose a logarithmic curve and added control points to follow its contour).
Personally, I don't try to remove all the noise, just tame it until the voice is dominate. The more aggressive the reduction, the more unnatural the result. A little ambiance is expected and sounds natural.   Even then, a little noise is masked when I go back in and add music. You can play the clip in a loop while you make adjustments and go ahead, go the extreme to get sense for what each tool does, and then be subtle. Your ears are the best sense of measure.
Once your happy, select or highlight the entire clip and click apply. Listen to the result. If you're happy still, then save it and it will update in Premiere, and you grab the next clip and repeat the process.
Once you have all the voice clips edited, then you can add music. I suggest that you keep the music at -12dB lower than the voice as a starting point.
You can also apply music via a ducking (side-chain) technique in Audition as another step. To do so:
After fixing all the voice clips, mute any music tracks you have. Create a new sequence and paste the sequence you've edited into that new sequence, right click on the audio track in that sequence and bring that into Audition like you did before. What you'll have is all the audio clips assembled into one.   "Normalize" that freshly import track, ensuring even volume/peaking throughout, (to within -3dB) is a good target.
In Audition open a new mutli-session and choose the "VO with Ducking" template. Load that freshly imported audio onto the voice track (top), and add you select music in the track beneath it. Dial down the volume of the music track until the voice sounds dominate (I try for a -12dB difference). Double click the Dynamics Processing filter in the Music track and in the settings tab, check the link channels box and in the level detector area, adjust it's attack and release rate until it sounds good to you.
Then render a mixdown of the session, saving the result to a new audio file. Import that file into Premiere, add it to a new audio track in your original edit and mute the other audio tracks.   Render away.

Audio popping between clips with timeline imported from final cut xml file

So i imported a final cut timeline that was synced with pluraleyes into adobe and between all the cuts there is an audible popping noise. I've tried using audio cross fade but it seems to make it worse. How can I fix this??

If anyone else has this problem - you fix it by making sure you pan the audio to the center, not left or right.

Why after effects renders me with bad audio?

I rendered almost six times and the result of these renders is that audio takes me wrong, when I play it in Windows media audio don´t reproduce, and I reproduced a file alternative to this and reproduced it excellent, the worst is that when I play in VLC or Media Player the audio is ok, that's not the main problem, because for me it would reproduce any of the programs that it works, but I need to make this video with less size or weight and when I make this process finally the audio it´s completely damaged. This has never happened before. Please help me.

I'm not quite sure what you're saying. Are you saying that when you render from After Effects the audio sounds bad but the audio file that was in your composition doesn't sound that bad when you play it in other applications?
You aren't telling us what your original audio file is like or what your render settings are in After Effects, so we do not have a lot of information that we might need.
Is the sound okay when you do a RAM preview in AE?
What is the file format of the audio file?
What settings are you using to render out of AE?
If your original audio is an MP3 file, try transcoding it to a WAV and using that in AE. Then render an uncompressed file out of AE and use the Adobe Media Encoder to do your final delivery file. That's the proper workflow anyway. AE should not be used to make your final compressed version.

How do you match the audio and text with the typer writer effect in Final Cut Pro?

I am making a video and I want to sync up the text with the audio using the typer writer effect. For example I want when the music makes a bing noise I want a letter to pop up. How do you set the exact time for each letter that comes up instead of just choosing the duration.
Thank you!!!!
Virginia

The most common cause is user error in understanding how these things are recorded in the acquisition system. You've got to first determine in it's easily solved by properly transcoding or if you're actually just seeing a display lag. Mismatched sync is based on different timebase scales so the offset gets worse the longer a clip plays.
The most common solution is to unlink the components, time them precisely to the frame, and change the speed of one component to match precisely the length of the other. It's easy and usually results in a slight pitch change that is indiscernible.
But you want to figure out the cause, not just he solution, so you can fix it in production instead of in post.
