Motion Audio Export PROBLEM???

When I export from motion using either compressor or even quicktime, for some unknown reason the audio file produced is cut short. Have tried many export variations, adjusting the play range BUT no joy! Any suggestions?

Hi,
welcome to the posts.
if you search through old threads you will find that many people come across this from time to time, myself included. There is nothing you can do about it in motion, as the audio side is buggy. The way round it is to import the motion sequence into FCP and export from there. I never build audio up in Motion, as its a comping tool and not an audio tool.
Hope this helps

CS4 Audio Export Problem

Hi
I'm fairly new to CS4 and have picked up an audio export problem, more than likely with a setting of sorts. For some reason when I export to MPEG2 -DVD via the Media Encoder, the video portion is fine as well as any audio that has been placed and edited on tracks audio 1 and 2 in PP. However, if there is additional audio placed on tracks 3 or 4 for example (say a music MP3 overlay) then this does not come out ... only audio placed on tracks 1 and 2 in PP come out. I have checked the obvious like making sure the tracks aren't muted etc but to no avail. Also tried changing from PCM audio to MPEG ... Stereo to 5.1 mixdown ... nothing doing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and regards

Thanks Harm ... got SnagIt and with a few helpful YouTube tutorials ... am in business. Hunt and John, also thanks ... the other method equally as good. Now, I have attempted to attach my screen shot which should display my CS4 timeline and associated audio monitor windows above. By the way, this was for a wedding and as indicated, you will notice an MP3 lying in audio track 3 which as mentioned is my problem as it is not audible after render via Media Encoder. But remember, the moment I slip this MP3 up into audio track 1 or 2 above ... problem solved. I know there must be something small like a setting gone wrong or incorrect. As mentioned, any help would greatly appreciated.
Thanks to you all.

CS4, Audio Export problem due to CFA files

Hi,
I'm having a -really- annoying problem and would appreciate any help.
I have been unable to export a project through Premiere with Media Encoder (just keeps freezing, then restarting the export etc) so I've used Dynamic Link to import the Sequence into AE and export that way. I have done this numerous times for otherprojects without problem, and can even export other Sequences from the same Project with no issue.
However, when I try to import any Sequence that includes my intended project (a 54 minute film) I get the same error every time "Audio conforming failed for the following file: CTC3 NEW COMPLETE MOVIE 48000.cfa. Perhaps due to disk space."
I have plenty of free space and I can't locate this CFA file anywhere. This error prevents me from exporting any audio and the warning re-appears for every second that gets Rendered if I try to export. I exported a short clip and had to click away the error each time and the resulting video had no sound but did feature video.
I can't figure out why each Sequence that doesn't feature the clips I actually need can work fine, but any Sequence that -does- feature them will not import properly.
I'm supposed to have this film ready for a premiere tomorrow and have been trying since Tuesday night to find a way around this problem.
Thanks,

Premiere CS 5.5 - audio export problem

I am running into a weird problem today.
I have a few premiere projects and am rendering quicktime.
I am able to render all projects but in one, the audio just does not get exported.
I have also tried copying the sequence and pasting in a new premiere project.
Nothing helps. I am on a n extremely tight deadline - would appreciate help.
Thanks.
Dez

This is now august 2014 !!! Almost two years after this problem was reported. I'am trying a CS6 thing and never had this problem until now when I dropped what seems to be a killer issue: 3 different sources of digital files into one sequence. I never used different cameras, but I received some full HD files. One audio only from Zoom recorder (was 1,411 kbps...), one AV Quicktime mov from a Cannon EOS 70 D and one AV MTS AVCHD from a Sony PMW 100.
The report is the same: no problem importing and editing but no way to export audio, neither only in wav or mp3, neither with the video. As people noticed, unmarking "export audio" your video edition was exported as ever.
No hardware issue too, as things evolved form 2011-12 and now I'm using I7 with 8 fast cores, 8 GB DDR3, SSD SATA 3 hard drive only for editing, and a 960 cuda cores Video Card. So, all the previous "weak hardware" and "re install" things were WRONG!
thyl0r's reply is the only correct thing at this issue. I tried others (no re install, of course) and they failed. I made the - simply click "sequence->render audio" - and my despair vanished in less than a minute. This answer has to be incorporated to Premiere's FAQ. Thank you thyl0r whoever you are.

Audio exporting problems: from FCP to protool/STP and back again

Final Cut Pro sound export for mastering.....sync problem
Hey,
I'm editing a 30 minute film and I have done most of the sound edit in FCP and Soundtrack pro and I want to now bring all the sound into pro tools to master the sound but every time i export sound into pro tools it seems to stretch by two or three seconds.
I have tried OMF, AIFF, XML, and Quicktime audio file sut to no avail!!!!
There are 50 tracks in the file so it is quiet large. It's not that there are handles of the file also as when I sync the file with the audio track with the video it syncs in one place but it is still out of sync in another.........It's as if the audio has been stretched!?!
If anyone has any advice it'd be much appreciated
Keith

Check the timecode rate and sync options in Protools. It sounds like a timecode or samplerate mismatch.
Especially note that 23.976fps OMFs from FCP (probably STP as well) show up in Protools as 24fps sessions. Change the PTs timecode to 23.976 to realign.

[PLEASE HELP!] .m4v and .mpeg4 Audio Export problems (QT 7 pro)

When i try to export any clips to .m4v (movie to ipod) or .mpeg4 the video is exported but has no sound. When i select "export to .mpeg4" and click on "options" it says "audio: no audio track in source movie". This is the same message displayed on all the clips i have tried to export.
Does anyone know how i can record the audio for .m4v files or .mpeg4 files?
Thankyou so much in advance for your help.

I'm using Quicktime Pro v 7.0.4 on Mac. I tried exporting Quictime mpeg4 to iPod format and get only video but no audio! And I'm talking Apple all the way. These files were made from a Sony digital camera with the digital video record option.
Believe most (if not all) Sony digital cameras still use MPEG video format. As such, the files contain a "muxed" stream consisting of blocks of video data interspersed with blocks of audio data for A/V synchronization. As Kirk alluded to above, QT is a "frame-to-frame" sync application and does not fully support "muxed" (e.g., MPEG1, MPEG2, VOB, some AVI, MJPEG, etc.) formats.
I do use a 3rd party program called Snapz Pro X to capture to .mpeg4 and these files export just fine to iPod format!
Good solution for capturing streamed video but not the best here. As you suggested, use a third party, MPEG based application like iSquint (free) or, better yet, MPEG Streamclip (free) for one-step conversion with audio.
I tried to convert the mpeg4 format to MOV format and then convert MOV to m4v but no audio there.
No surprise here. If you check your first MPEG4 file you will see that no audio track was present following the initial conversion and no amount of further conversions will add a non-existent audio track.

Multichannel audio exporting problem

Hi all, I have a clients need me export my movie audio files as the following 8 channel which I don't know how to do it in premiere cc.
As I try to export it as wav file. in the Basic audio setting, there are only 3 option available : mono, stereo & 5.1
unlike other user in this forum , they have 4-10++ channel option available, is there anything missing in my premiere cc?
how do I export this audio? thanks
requirement:
SONY XDCAM HD422 1080i50
file Container : .mov File Wrapper
Audio Container
CH.1 & 2 :24-bit, stereo (LR), 48000khz (1st Lang)
CH.3 & 4 Dolby E Stream 5.1+2 (1st Lang)
CH.5 & 6 :24-bit, stereo (LR), 48000khz (2nd Lang)
CH.7 & 8 :Dolby E Stream 5.1+2 (2nd Lang)

Can I raise this subject again.
I have a video I want to output in Blu-Ray format. Steven's instructions say:
To export to a file format like H.264 for Blu-ray, you want to choose H.264 Blu-ray, use the preset for 1440X1080i 25 High Quality, and look at the Multipexer tab. There are multiple tabs, Filters, Video, Audio, Multiplexer and Others. On the Multipexer tab select Multiplxing - TS instead of None
I have followed these instructions and tried MPEG2 Blu-Ray and H.264 Blu-Ray.
Video is set to PAL 1440x1080, 25 fps Upper
Audio format is PCM (I can only choose PCM or Dolby Digital and I don't have a DD license)
Multiplexer setting - If set to None then I get two files
If I change the Multiplexer to TS, I get an error message when it starts to process the project "Audio Codec selected is not compatible with this multiplexing mode. Please change the selection"
I don't see what I can change the audio codec to as there is only a choice of two options and I can't select Dolby Digital.
Any suggestions?

Media Encoder CS5 audio export problem

I was trying to convert a .mov to flv/f4v, the video was fine but audio was distorted, pitch wet down, sounding like a battery-low device playing back some crappy stuff. Tried many different settings but no luck. Am I missing any codecs?
Actually I was fine with this kind of conversion before my mac crashed and then reinstalled a week ago. I'm on OS X 10.6.2. Frustrated, appreciate if someone can help.

seems i did answer this myself last year!
i need to re-ecode the source material in a format other than 10bit uncompressed for Encoder to be happy with it. I thought the file was already Prores - must be an older file thats causing the trouble.

Audio export problem in Premiere: about -15dB. Why?

Major "BUG" in Imovie 9 - Audio Sync Problem on Export !

Well I'm a hard-core Apple user from day one, but unfortunately today I'm not to proud about the latest version of Imovie 9.
It seems there has been a "MAJOR audio sync problem on export" in Imovie 9, since July 2009. Apple knows about this bug for a long time now, but didn't release any bugfix yet!
Here's what it's all about:
It seems if you use the (custom /manual) speed-adjustments and not the preset slider speeds, you will experience (after exporting your movie) annoying bursts of audio from clips that had been set to mude. The strange thing is that you will only experience this audio-bug after exporting, you will NOT experience it in the project playback mode!
Here's what you can do:
Find ALL the clips in your Project that are Speed Adjusted.
Instead of using a "Custom Speed" percentage, use any of the "Preset Speeds"
Preset Speeds on the Slider = 12.5%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 200%, 400%, 800%
Then, export your project as usual.
No more sync issues.
Really hope That Apple will come up with a real BUGFIX soon.
It's a shame that a major bug in a otherwise GREAT PRODUCT, hasen't been fixed yet!
What's wrong with Apple?...this is not one of their finest hours.
Still A BIG fan from Imovie HD,...I'll chance to Imovie 9 when the bugs are finaly fixed!

This is TERRIBLE! I have spent so much time working on this project, and I really don't want to adjust the speed settings to the preset levels, BECAUSE I need to motion of the video to match certain musical points. I can't re-film my video, and I needed this project done TODAY. I made a music video with some kids at summer camp, and today is the last day- the day we were supposed to all watch it together, and now, I've got NOTHING!!!! (Because I can't export it without all those glitches!)
I am MAJORLY DISAPPOINTED on this one. I've made movies in windows movie maker before, and purposely used imovie, because you know, everything on macs is supposed to be better. Well, I guess I was wrong.

Audio Synch Problem Exporting From imovie 6

I have a created a large imovie project in imovie 6 using pictures and imported video. The project uses a lot of extracted audio voice overs on top of the photos.
While trying to export the video to quicktime or idvd, the audio gets out of synch at various points. I have tried exporting it many times using a variety of different options, and the audio remains out of synch, sometimes in different places with each export. Lastly, I have extracted the audio from the video clips for some of the more problematic portions of the project, but that has not proven successful.
The odd thing is that the movie plays perfectly while in imovie.
Any suggestions as to how to correct this issue?

Hi
Tedious situation.
To avoid this I'm kind of strict in Audio in two ways
A
• Material used if video is in same frame per minute - else I use JES_Deinterlacer to convert all to one standard. I use PAL = 25fps - one of my Cameras records ONLY in 30fps - (some people records in 24fps - to get a movie feel - I never)
So keeping the fps from Camera to (in my cases) DVD - gives a supperior result
B
• I'm strict in the kind of Audio formats I use - ONLY .aiff (or from miniDV tape Cameras) AND THEN 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (still .aiff as on normal CDs) and here 44.1kHz
If Camera is set to record in LP-mode or 12-bit Audio - Then I use an external Audio Editor to get this right
If from iTunes - I never use this directly - BUT - collect needed audio into a New PlayList - BURN THIS as a Standard Audio-CD (NO .mp3 - but .aiff here too) and then use the files on this CD in my movie project's in iMovie HD6 or FinalCut any varsion (or if forced to - iMovie'11)
Else read this
Audio Sync problems
• 12.bit - should be 16.-bit (from miniDV tape - set Camera right)
Avoid recording in LP-mode on miniDV tape. This tape must be play-backed by same Camera. When Camera dies
so does the video material in worst case.
• .mp3, .avi etc strange file formats - should be converted to .aiff 48kHz 16-bit
• in iMovie (up to HD6) - do - Extract Audio - it most often helps
• from iTunes - collect into a PlayList then Export out as an Audio-CD (not .mp3) and use the files on this (.aiff 44.1kHz)
• There seems to be a problem with slow-down resp speed-up. Has to be in specific steps as 25% 50% 150% 200%
else problems will arise
• Audio problems when transitions is in use - especially iMovie HD/HD6
a. Select video clips
b. Extract Audio (Advance menu/Extract Audio)
c. Now apply transition
d. eventually fine-tune end and start of extracted audio clips

FCP quicktime conversion export problem

issue exporting still image instead of video

>Export
the results i get a odd. - the video exports fine, except for the beginning titles, instead a still frame image from somewhere else in the video occupies that intro, until the first transition- in this case- dip to white, then the rest of the video is fine. the portion of the beginning that does not show are composed of: livetype text credits in V2 - in which i have done a manual opacity fade up and down - so the livetype text fades in, over matte color solid in V1. in the exported video -i do not see any of this, all i see is a seemingly random still from somewhere else in the video. i can however hear the audio as it is supposed be.
cant figure out why this is happening. anybody know?
i think the livetype files are 1920 x 1080.
my FCP sequence is 720 p
this has only recently started happening and doesn't seem to be consistent.
im wondering if it has to do with the live type files, or the white solid?…
or the conversion settings above?

Earlybird is exporting H264 ... the Key Frames setting is determining the GOP length. This value should really be determined based on the complexity of the video, to my understanding, the actual frame rate has no bearing on it. If you have very complex fast moving content then a low Key Frame rate is advisable to ensure good image quality (although it will adversely affect the filesize) whereas if you have slow moving or static content (like an interview subject) then a higher Key Frame rate will still produce a good image but at a smaler filesize. The default of 24 should be pretty much fine as a catchall starting point.
Earlybird
Corrupted render files (and render references) can be a pain because FCP will use those files and references in place of the original media when building the export. And so it should as it does't want to waste time re-rendering sections that are apparently already rendered. Unfortuantely, as noted, if the render file has gone bad and/or starts referencing the wrong media then you'll get these wierd flashes of completely unexpeced and unwanted footage showing up where it shouldn't be. When you trash those files then QT / FCP will just go back and re-reference the original media ... so it's usually a worthwhile step to take just in case thats the problem. The worse case scenario is that it only that doesn't work and you spend some time unecessarily re-rendering.
As to why these files go bad? That I don't know. Why do Preferences get corrupted? That I don't know either but it definitely happens :-(
Cheers

CS4 audio sync problems

Hi all,
sorry if this question is old hat - I've searched the forums and can't seem to get a clear answer (most refer to CS3 and before) so thought I'd ask anew.
My preview in Premiere CS4 is fine, as is the preview in Encore CS4. The video was captured from four tapes (HD as mpeg and SD as Matrox AVI) in Premiere. The final DVD (10 minutes) consists of 21 clips. All but one are OK - this one has the voices well out of sync with the video, even though other clips taken from the same tape are fine.
I also had a major problem recently with an MP4 from youtube, which I guess is the same issue - everything else was fine, but this one clip was well out.
I'm guessing by now this is an old problem. What's the solution, please?
Thanks
Paul.

Newbie to Adobe here ...
Okay, so after spending over 14 hours trying to fix the audio sync problem I fixed mine. After editing my project I selected Sequence > Sequence Settings > Playback Settings > under Realtime Playback make sure the "Desktop Video Display During Playback" box is selected. Next, in "External Device" change the setting from "None" to your next option. Mine reads DV: 29.97 720 X 480i. Next, Under "Export" section in that same window select the in "External Device" select the DV option again. Also, you might want to "Disable video output when in background" ...select that box at the bottom of the screen.
Now, try recording the video to the tape ....my audio now sync's as normal. I hope it works for you.\
One more thing ... you can keep the "Desktop Audio" button selected.

Audio Export Failed

I'm working in FCPX 10.1.1. I'm exporting from a timeline that is 1hr, 3 mins in length. I'm doing a range selection of just 10 minutes and then exporting that range selection to Audio only in AIF format. I get an error message that "Share Failed". But Final Cut actually did export an AIF file to the designated folder however it exported a file that is 4hrs, 8 mins in length. Its exported the entire timeline plust 3 some hours of silence. And yes, I double checked my timeline, there are no stray elements past the 1 hr, 3 min. mark. Not to mention it didn't export my range selection. Anyone else having this problem??
I then setup of a Compressor destination for AIF and tried exporting via that preset and it yeilded the same results, an AIF file that was 4hrs, 8 mins. in lenght.

To add insult to injury, I've run into yet another FCPX glitch. I have two laptops, both running OS 10.9.2, and both are running FCPX 10.1.1. I decided to disconnect my external drive and try this audio export on my other laptop. However, when I launch FCPX, it doesn't even recognize that the drive has any FCPX Events or Project files on it. How can that be??? How do I get FCPX to recognize the Events and Projects?? This is really confusiing since they were created on another laptop with identical OS and software versions.

MAJOR EXPORT PROBLEMS! PLEASE HELP!

Hello. I hope everyone had a nice holiday. I'll try to be brief. I'm having a horrible problem with exporting my films. I work on a PC. To me, that shouldn't matter, but here's what's been happening. I shoot my films at 23.976 frames on the 5DMII and the 7D. My film got into a film festival. They asked for a 720p mp4 file. OK, no problem. I went under H.264, I exported an HD File, with 23.976 frame rate and I checked both boxes for Max Render and I set a 2-pass. I exported and when I played the vid back through Windows Media Player, it felt fine.
BUT, at the festival this past weekend, I was horrified to discover that my film, and no other films, was having a major sound problem. The audio was about half a second ahead of the footage, so they kind of looked like they were speaking correctly, but their dialogue would finish right before their mouths would. Super embarrassing. All I noted when I saw the tech booth was that they were using a mac laptop hooked to the projector, so I assume maybe it was quicktime they were running? Also, I believe they put all of the vids together as one file so it would run together as one block, but still, I believe most of the other films were shot at 23.976 frames as well, so that shouldn't matter.
I went home, thinking maybe I just wasn't being diligent enough and I needed to really look at the sound. Maybe it was off. But I keep all of the temp tracks, the sound from the dslr, on track 1 and then just mute it. I unmuted and played both tracks, and there's no difference. No echo, no weird delays, they're both perfectly synched up.
I've been having this problem for a long time but this was the first time that I REALLY could see the problem, probably because it was on such a big screen. Just my opinion, but I've found that most festivals are running MAC software and it seems like the vids I export seem to have an audio problem being played through mac programs. Another instance, briefly. I did a screening for a feature I edited. I exported an HD mp4 and put it on a friends MAC. The sound was off when we pre-screened it. I have a PC Toshiba laptop, I ran the vid through windows media player, and it felt much better, so we screened using my laptop and it went fine. But what does that mean?
Has anyone else had this problem? It's not just festivals too. I have a subscription with Vimeo, but every short film that I put up there has some kind of an audio drift problem. It's always minor so some people see it and some people don't, but I'm certain the vids are fine on my timeline. Do I need to export using something else? A different setting? As a quicktime vid? That last question seems kooky since any tutorial I've seen is usually wanting h.264, so I just don't know.
Please let me know if there's anything I can try or if you just have an opinion. Thanks very much.
