Multicam Sync using audio in Premiere Pro CC

Hi there,
Just getting my head round the tons of stuff Premiere Pro CC can do.
I saw this video and this I thought would be great and a wonderful time saver:
http://www.tricedesigns.com/2013/06/18/my-favorite-new-feature-multi-cam-synch-in-premiere -pro-cc/
In brief what we are intending to do is, using 2 identical cameras both with mics.
Cam 1 records the whole presentation.
Cam 2 at a different angle records smaller clips of the same presentation, some clips only a few seconds others a little longer.
I select both videos > right click > synchronize > check Audio and ok.
It processes both clips but then says 'no match found' even though I know there is. The audio is as clear as anything.
As a test all I am trying to do is sync a small close up clip over the main video.
From what Andrew Trice is saying it 'should' work.
I can't find anything else to suggest what I'm doing wrong.
Any thoughts greatly received. Pete
[The term Premiere Pro uses is multicam sequence. I've updated the thread title.]

Ok I am really beginning to think I am doing something wrong here
Thinking I am not going to be able to sync using just audio I just watched this:
Multi-Camera improvements in Premiere Pro CC
http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/whats-new-7-1.html
So gave multi cam a go. Added to video clips.
intro.MTS is the main presentation
intro1.MTS is the small clip but at a different angle.
The quality of the audio is very clear and yet it could not be synchronized!
I get the failure message below.
Do the video clips have to be saved 'as' something other than what I have?
It cant be coincidental that I can't sync using either method.
I am using a trial of Pro CC, hope that makes no difference
Thanks, Pete

Using XVID with Premiere Pro CS3?

I'm trying to export to video using XVID encoder, two pass. I start the first pass, an XVID status window appears, and then it appears to get stuck.
Has anyone here used XVID with Premiere Pro CS3? If so, any suggestions?

Thanks, I'll try the options on XVID. Currently I've been exporting to raw AVI, then using AutoGK. I normally don't do use XVID, but for a partcicular racing game, there are some telephone wires that appear less aliased with XVID mpeg4, than the encoders you get with Premiere. I've tried the mpeg2, mpeg4, and windows encoders, and don't get quite the same results. One of the final destinations is a you tube "hi-def" video. I also make windows movie files since they also can be viewed while streaming via Windows Movie player. My web host throttles throughput to 350kb per second now, so I keep most of my videos at 640x480 at around 1972kbps for the video, 128kbps for the audio. Example wmv video from racing game http://jeffareid.net/nfsuc/nucreoznds.wmv Example youtube video same video (<ctrl>+click to open new window): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQuRfJMgsms&fmt=22 Better example of youtube video, I don't know if it's content related or if youtube compressed better. This video was uploaded well before youtube had hi-def, but apparently they keep the original and re-encoded it for me. This is of a radio control glider at a slope site.

Working with audio | Learn Premiere Pro CS6 | Adobe TV

This movie introduces the robust audio tools in Premiere Pro. Abba Shapiro shows how to preview and trim audio in the Source Monitor. Whether it’s an audio-only file or the audio channel of a video clip, Abba shows how to enable sub-frame audio scrubbing and trimming. He also shows how to interpret clips to combine or separate stereo channels. At the same time, he introduces fundamental audio tools that are essential to working with audio in Premiere Pro.
http://adobe.ly/To00IZ

Is it possible to specify what audio channels to capture during capture from tape? It seems Premiere wants to mix the lavaliere mic and camera mic into a stereo track all the time, and then I have to modify audio settings and force it to mono in the project. In Final Cut pro 7, I am able to specify which audio tracks to capture, and this simplifies things in editing. I cannot see anywhere to do this in Premiere....

Audio sync drift issues within Premiere Pro CS6, even with 48kHz project & source material?

Evening guys and Merry Christmas to those who follow the tradition. I'm currently doing a few last minute tweaks to a live dance show that I recently shot. The show featured music that was recorded in camera (via additional mic) from the speaker setup within the theatre. This was always intended as a guide track as the original music would then be synced in the edit to give a cleaner sound to the audio during the dance sequences. I have the original CD that the music was played from on the night, however when the files are imported into Premiere Pro (or even Audition), they sync for the first 10 seconds or so and then gradually drift out of sync as the track goes on.
My project is set to 48.000 audio, which was what the original footage was shot at, as well as the audio tracks being imported as 48.000 too. Now on paper there should not be any issues with this sync drift occuring right? I've even tried with 44.100 audio files and naturally they drift out of sync.
At a loss here really as I'm not sure where i'm going wrong. Can anyone shed any light on this situation please?
Thanks!

Recording multitrack audio in Premiere Pro CC

Lately I’ve been doing fair bit of video recording, with audio recorded as multitrack with a view of remixing it in post production. The issue is how to sync it with video so I can mix the tweak the audio while I have video showing.
My current setup is as follows:
BMD Television studio – vision is mixed live from 4 cameras and fed into BMD UlstraStudio 4K . Stereo audio mix is fed from audio mixer into UltraStudio and the video recorded onto MacMini
Audio multi tracks can be recorded in 2 ways - either as analogue inserts from the desk into 24 chanel audio card ( M-Audio Profire 2626 with 2x Presonus 8 chanel analogue to ADAT convertors )
We also tried on the weekend recording directly out of Behringer x32 firewire output straight into MacMini - seem to work OK, and bypassed the need to use M- Audio.
The software at my disposal is Adobe Creative Suite CC ( Premiere Pro, Audition ) Logic 9 and Cubase 7 plus the standard BMD Media Express, etc. Audio is recorded on another MacMini
Do I need to keep the MacMinis in sync while recording?
Someone suggested using something like BMD audio to SDI convertors and embedding the multitrack into video stream. Will that still give me the ability to remix audio in post?
My overall aim is to streamline the whole recording/editing process. I don’t mind if we need to purchase additional software/hardware to make the whole process better.

Losing audio in premiere pro 7 after reopening project

I am having major audio problems, searching the fora everywhere phoning around and trying to find a solution, who knows what this is:
I strated a project with proress files synced to wav in pluraleyes 3.1, all whent fine into premiere pro 7.1 and I started editing.
After reopening the project the audio was suddenly set to "nan". I could see the waveform but had to reset it to center 0 to get back audio in the meters and headphone. after reopening the project again all audio is gone.....
The immage was gone two and i had to remove all filters to get back immage.....
Immage has been working since but audio waveform is very stragely gone flatline every time i restart the project. The audio is gone. Even when i reinport it manually and restart....
I tried rebuilding the whole project, manually replacing audio, macht frame get the timecode eand replaceing it with the original sound.... ( costed me days already) After reopening audio was gone again.....
I also looked at disk permissions, cleaned the cache, importing into a new project making newe squinces...... transforming wav to aiff....my god.....
older projects seem to be ok though..... Whats wrong with this project? Is it plural eyes making a corrups sequince thing?
Please please help!
Dont know what to do anymore, I need to edit, have a deadline.....
peremiere pro 7.1
pluraleyes 3.1
macpro mavericks
Proress video files and wav audio from a zoom.

Thank you Jim to take time to anwer me. It took me days and nigths to fiend this out..... I redid the whole project using plural eyes 3.2.1 without replacing the audio.... Premiere still seems to handle the audio strangely. ( audio wave forms onley show when playing the audio) but for now it doesnt disappear any more. Verry strange bug thouw. Cant get my head around it.... When i replace audio by hand plural eyes is out of the equation...
Any way hop this helps others with their hands deep in thair hair......

Audio in Premiere Pro CS3 appears on one PC, not the other

Hi everyone,
I'm the Network Administrator for a high school and we have a digital media lab here using Adobe Creative Suite 3: Master Collection. All systems here are running Windows XP Professional and are on a Windows domain. All users are standard users, with no administrative rights for obvious security reasons. When I originally did the deployment of the lab by running sysprep on a reference computer and using ghost to deploy the rest of the computers, I noticed a problem with Premiere Pro CS3 after the deployment. In that lab, none of the computers would capture video via firewire and the built in capture function in Adobe Premiere CS3. I believe I have a post about this on these forums that was never resolved. To get around this, I'd capture the footage for students in my office and then transfer it over to their network drives so they could import it into Premiere Pro CS3 and edit the footage.
Recently, the school purchased some HD cameras that record to a built in hard drive or an SDHC card. The idea here was that the .MTS files could be copied from the camera to the computer running Premiere Pro CS3, the media files in .MTS format [at 1280x720] could be converted using KoyoteSoft's Free HD Converter using the settings MPEG2 [a preset], MPG2 as the format, 1280x720 // 16/9, 29.97 FPS, 9000 video bitrate, and 224 audio bitrate, and then the new media files could be imported into Premiere Pro CS3 and edited using the HDV 720p30 preset within Premiere Pro CS3.
This works great...on my office computer.
The problem is that if any student tries to import their footage on a computer in the digital media lab, the converted media files, the exact same ones that just imported into my Premiere Pro CS3 installation on a computer in my office with identical hardware as the computers in the digital media lab, fail to import the audio. I can see the video with no problems in the lab, but no audio layer appears. If I right click the video file and choose Open With> VLC or another media player, the media plays fine with audio. All audio/video codecs that are installed on my machine are also installed on the digital media machines. If I right click Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 from within a student account on those computers and choose Run As and use the local administrator account, Premiere Pro CS3 does the exact same thing, it still can't see the audio. Adobe CS3 is fully up to date on both my office computer and all digital media computers.
Any help fixing this would be greatly appreciated, spring break is coming up here this coming week and I'll be here all week. Hoping to get this resolved during that time so students can edit their own movies. Again, video imports, audio doesn't. No audio layer appears.
Thanks!

Exporting 5.1 ac3 audio from Premiere Pro CS4

Hi there,
I wonder if anybody can help me out with exporting 5.1 ac3 audio from Premiere CS4 version 4.1.0?
I have a 3min long HD 5.1 clip that I need to cut down to 60seconds and add fade transitions to. The final clip will be used in a media player with very specific spec - the clip needs to remain HD 1080p with a frame rate of 29.97 and a maximum CBR of 38. The audio must be 5.1 aac. The format can be mpeg 2 or h.264. The overall quality loss needs to be minimal.
Up to now I have been cutting up footage that only needs to be stereo and I found the best way to to this while keeping quality was to use Prem Pro and export as mpeg 2 1080p 29.97, quality:5, bitratre: CBR 38, audio as mpeg layer 2 (as these clips were stereo only). These clips played back fine and looked great so I wanted to keep the 5.1 clip process as close to this as possible.
So far all I have been able to get from Premiere Pro is an audio codec called DVD_LPCM which the media player will not recognise. I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to 5.1 audio so I may be doing something obviously wrong...
- I have purchased the 5.1 surcode codec and its activated.
- I have started a new AVCHD (I need 1920x1080) 1080p 29.97 project with a 5.1 audio master
- The orignal file is an mpeg which I have pulled into PPro and selected Clip > Audio > Breakout to mono
- I take the 6 mono channels in the project panel and put them into thier own mono tracks in the sequence.
- the video I use is the original mpeg with the 5.1audio muted in the sequence.
- When i select each track in the project panel and go to Clip > Audio > Source channel mappings, I see that track has already been allocated a source channel. So I go to the Audio Mixer panel and adjust the 5.1 panners for each tyrack according to what the Source Channel Mapping window has told me - Audio 1 is is L, audio 2 is R, audio 3 is LS, 4 - Rs, 5- C and 6- LFE
- I cut the video and all the mono track to the 60seconds I need and export using these settings:
Video - exactly as before
Audio -
Format - Dolby Digital, Codec - SurCode, Audio Coding Mode: 3/1 (L, R, C, LFE, Ls, Rs - 5.1 Surround), LFE: on.
The clip exports with DVD_LPCM 5.1 audio. Is it to do with the AVCHD preset? Could anyone help me get aac? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Using AME and the SurCode Plug-in, here's how the dialog screen looks for the Audio Tab in PrPro 2.0. It should be similar in CS4:
You do have the Minnetonka SurCode DD 5.1 SS plug-in, right?
Good luck, and hope that this is helpful.

PS - note that in the screen-cap, I have composited the dialog box, as though it fully displayed, with no need to scroll it. Depending on your display, you may need to scroll, and your scroll bars will look different from what you see here - just ignore that part of it.

Using .AVI in Premiere Pro.

Hello,
First of all I want to point out that it's about a MacBook Pro and Adobe Premiere Pro CS3.
This is the problem:
I am an anime editor. I download videos of anime and edit them with my MacBook Pro. Back when i had windows, it was easy: i just installed the needed .avi codecs ( div/xvid) and i could use the .avi files ( wich the clips of the anime i download is) and i was good to go.
Since i have a macbook pro, i can't edit the clips i want with premiere: I installed all the xvid and divx codecs i could find wich allowed me to play the files in quicktime, and also i can edit them with After Effects. But whenever i try to import files in Premiere, it says: ' Unsupported compression in file.'
I've been looking for a solution for 2 days, i would highly appreciate if someone could find a solution.
Regards
( Sorry for my bad english, I am not from the UK / USA. )

You did not misread. I have yet to see PrPro (or PrE) work perfectly with Xvid/DivX material. The main issues are Video, but no Audio, Audio, but no Video, or horribly and dynamically OOS Audio. With the Video issues, one often gets one still frame from the beginning, and then no more images, though the Audio might continue to play.
On the PC, I use a conversion program, DigitalMedia Converter, that is shareware, but I think only for the PC, and it does batch conversion. I load it up with Xvid/DivX files and alter my settings to get SD 720 x 480 29.97 FPS DV-AVI Type II files with 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio. I hit Convert, and get a cup of coffee. When done, so is the conversion.
Unfortunately, I do not know of such for the Mac, but others probably will. I do know that QT Pro should be able to do the conversion to MOV, through Export, but with no batch function, that I know of.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - as I mentioned, some other NLE's are much more capable at editing Xvid/DivX files, than any Adobe program is. However, PrPro will Export to DivX (Xvid has always failed, or even crashed the program, so I do not bother with that) just fine, but from DV-AVI Type II source footage. Xvid/DivX are delivery-only CODEC's, and are not meant to be edited. The material has been greatly compressed, and is in a GOP structure, neither of which is helpful, when going to edit.

XF100 audio with Premiere Pro CC

With Premiere Pro CS 5.5 and 6, my 2 stereo audio channels from my XF100 where imported as 2 differents stereo tracks on my timeline. Now with CC, I only have one stereo track, chanel 1 mono on the left and channel 2 mono on the right in my timeline. I use the Canon XF mpeg2 preset for my timeline as usual.
Can I have my two distinct stereo channels?

Yes I can do it with "modify" > "audio channels" in the contextual menu, but it won't help in the preference because the files are not a stereo media, they are just two seperate audio streams. So anyway, I can have it the way I want. I just don't like the new workflow because stereophony and channels shoud not be seen as the same thing. Thanks for your help!

Nightmare recording audio into premiere pro with Mbox 2 Mini Mac OSX

I've adjusted buffer settings, power settings, and so on, not to mention watched two Premiere Pro tutorials on recording audio directly into Premiere that barely still apply, but adobe finds relevant enough to suggest. I am using a Digidesign Mbox 2 Mini and an ElectroVoice RE20 Microphone. If I'm lucky I get a clean track of audio for about 45 seconds before the audio begins to pop and crack. In reading on Avid's forums this is due to a buffer issue, but I've since changed my buffer to every setting and still keep wasting time. Does anyone have any experience recording directly into premiere pro cc 2014?, Anyone with an Mbox 2 Mini?, Do you have an audio box that seems to work perfectly with CC 2014? If you have any insight on any of those questions, please comment below.
I've tried everything I could find and read about online, but at this point I have to give up before I waste anymore time. I've switched usb ports, maybe is a USB 3.0 with 2.0 device?, I switched power locations, plugs, protectors, and so on, even USB cables.... blahhh
Specs:
Premiere Pro CC 2014 8.1
2012 Macbook Pro (Non-Retina), 16GB of Ram, dual internal SSD, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7
OSX 10.8.5
Mbox 2 Mini, Firmware 1.4, latest drivers.

Hi AbzZilla,
I was looking up this post and found you've a similar problem...
I was having the non-responsiveness with the above configurations in 'LE 7.4 & 7.4.2c (Mac-only), but I have now installed Pro Tools LE 8.
Unfortunately I still can't get the MBOX2 to work with the Mac mini 2, but the MBOX2 USB status alights now [i.e. it's very bright and now works] on the MBP 17" ...all with Mac OS X 10.5.6! In all previous Pro Tools versions it confirms support for Pro Tools and the MBox, with the Mac mini:
http://archive.digidesign.com/compato/osx/os.cfm
So I too am 'stumped' as this is the brand new computer that I wanted the software to be operable on. I've swapped the USB cables (to check if it was a failed cable) and it looks like either a firmware clash or a USB-port power issue? I've also tried non-powered USB hubs... as it could be the later issue? So when I find my powered USB hub I'll let you know, ...if there's a change?
Until then... I Iook forward to further posts in this thread!
Thanks for kicking-off the discussion.

Failed Audio in Premiere Pro Render

Hi,
Im new here and i need some help.
This Question has bees probably asked 100 times but i need a direct answer.

So i made a quick movie thats 55 seconds long and i for some reason when i chose the option to render a MPEG or MPEG4, get no audio... the visual is there but theirs no audio in my movie...then i just render in .mov for now.
Can someone help me and figure out why my videos wont render with sound???
I appreciate it!
T.Nowak

OK, we have gotten the "easy things" out of the way, and sorry that it not as simple as choosing the correct Multiplexer setting.
Let's recap a bit:
You have Audio fine in your Timeline. What is your source material, MOV/MP4? What are the Audio specs. for those files?
You are Exporting to MOV/MP4 from the Timeline, through AME, and this is where you do not get Audio.
Is that correct? What player are you using to test your Exported muxed file? Could this be an issue in the player of choice - a setting perhaps? Do other A/V files with the same specs. play fine in it?
Not sure which players are available for the Mac, but VLC Player and MediaPlayer Classic HC are both very good, but could be PC-only. Can you try another player?
Can you start a New Sequence that matches your Export file, Import that output file, and play it in the Timeline?
Good luck,
Hunt
