Muted red audio track?

Hello.
I was working on this project last night and audio was working perfectly. Today I've re-opened the project and found out that all audio sub-clips are red and no audio is played for those sub-clips:
I've tried right-clicking everywhere but I'm unable to find a way to get audio back on those clips.
Also, if I add a new video-audio clip to the sequence, the audio is there, is only the ones I had already added those that won't play. It wouldn't be a problem if I didn't had like 40 of those small clips
I'm a Premiere Pro noobie, so I'm not sure what I did wrong and how to fix it.
Please help

I've got the red audio w/ no sound issue too!  Everything was working fine, til I reloaded the project (mere minutes after I closed it.). I am using Adobe Premiere CS6.0.2 on a PC (Dell XPS8300: i7-2600 CPU @ 3.4GHz) running Windows 7.
(First let me state, while I have been using Premiere Pro & Premiere Elements for 5+ years, I am definitely NO expert. Also, I started this post in despiration, but have concluded with my workaround that works.)
If I recall correctly, here's what I did:
Several months ago, I created Version 1 of the prproj in CS3. It contained only one .MOV file (filmed on my camera).
I made several audio volume adjustments & splices throughout the file, saved it, but decided to not work on it until I bought CS6.
In between that time, I renamed the MOV file.
Fast forward to today, when I started to edit it in CS6. Obviously, I had to locate the renamed file. No problem, until...
I realized the project settings were not optimal for the source file.
I used a different project that had better settings and imported the MOV file and saved it as Version 2.
But I did not want to lose the volume adjustments I made on the Version 1.
I opened Version 1, unlinked the audio, copied all the audio segments, pasted it into Version 2, linked it with the video track and deleted the previous audio track already in Version 2.
All seemed well as I continued to edit the project making several volume adjustment & new razor edits for several hours.
I saved Version 2. Closed it to check on a different project.
When I reopened Version 2, the Audio Track was in red and contained no information.
It seems to still be wanting the audio to be the old filename from Version 1, or something!
I have attempted to change the MOV filename name back to the original filename, but that did not help. Still in red.
I have saved several versions and played around with it, but could never get the audio to link back up.
Here's my workaround (I don't know if this will help anyone else, but unless someone has a better idea besides uninstalling/reinstalling/not-updating, which I suspect would not have fixed this issue):
I added the original MOV file into the project, sandwiching the edited version then copy & pasted the attributes for each edited segment. That took much less time than typing this all up. .  But since I had already started this post, I figured I'd post my "fix."
Hope it might help someone, but I still would love to know how to get the audio file to point to the right thing again!

  • Controlling which RED audio tracks to import

    Is there any way to control which audio tracks are imported when working with RED R3D files?
    This is probably user error, but the company that we use for Red shoots has their camera set up so that the talent audio is on track 2 (with track 1 and 3 being empty, but still active). So I get three mono tracks for each clip I import.

    After you import, and before you use any of the clips in a sequence, select them and go to Clip > Modify > Audio Channels. There are a number of options in that dialog for mapping source audio channels as you need.

  • Audio Track Recording (Armed) button plays a midi sound when it flashes red

    Hard to explain but when I click the "R" Record/arm button on an Audio track it makes a sound through my midi device (my keyboard) in time to the flashing of the red light.
    I've just installed an RME Fireface 800 and I'm using the MIDI interface to connect this to my keyboard and use through Logic
    Does anyone know how to turn this off? When I actually start recording it eventually turns itself off, so it only happens when I arm the track.

    it sounds like logic is trying to send midi to a control surface telling it to display the record light. I'd check in the control surface setup window and see what's there.

  • How to sync audio tracks with RED footage that has no reference audio?

    So I shot a short film for my thesis project and the damn crew didn't record reference audio. We shot on a RED camera and had a sound guy with a shotgun mic. So we have crystal clear audio tracks from a separate sound card and tons of RED footage with abosolutely no sound.
    Lucky we did use a slate, so I know I have to go one by one and manually sync all the audio with the right video tracks. Though I am unsure how exactly to do it. Once synced, will I have to edit from the timeline? How can I reimport the synced footage into a new project so I can edit from my media bin?

  • Why I have to mute Audio Voice Recording Track always in order to subdue the voice recorded when I want to solo other tracks, audio or midi for listening.The other audio tracks don't sound without being muted. Please advise how to deal with this .Thanks

    Why I have to mute the Audio Voice recording track  ( the first voice track ) always in order to sudue its recorded sound while I want to listen to other
    tracks ( either audio or midi tracks ) in solo ?The other audio tracks with voice recording do not have to be muted in order not to  interfere with other
    tracks turned on solo. Can someone kindly explain this phenomenon and any way to fix this ?
    Thanks
    Dan

    Thanks, ATR,
    I wll try this--but I still am unclear on how to do what the Manual says is possible: select clips on another track that WILL be moved, if I so desire, so as to remain synched to the main Video track.
    UPDATE:
    In the case of inserting Freeze Frame, I just tried both Ctrl method and Alt method, and neither worked.
    1. Put Video on Vid1 track
    2. Put Music on Sound Track
    3. Ran a few seconds of Vid
    4. Stopped Vid, selected Freeze Frame
    5. Held down Ctrl key while clicking "Insert in Movie"  also tried with holding down Alt key.
    Result: a 3 second still was inserted int the Vid1 track.  A corresponding gap was created in the Sound Track.
    6. Slid the final part of the Sound Track to the left along the timeline to re-connect it to the next segment created by the above process.
    Result: the video following the final Freeze Frame was pushed to the right end of  Video1 track.
    7. Slid the Sound Track all the way to the left.
    Result: the entire Video 1 Track contents were pushed to the right and divided in pieces.
    I documented each step with screen shots which I can send if you want them and if I can figure out how to do it.
    UPDATE #2
    In the case of inserting a video clip to the Timeline, I just tried both Ctrl method and Alt method, and neither worked.
    1. Locate video in Project Assets
    2a. R click video in Project Assets (pull-down menu appears), hold down Ctrl, click Insert to Timeline.
    Result: Vid clip is inserted on Video 1 track, Sound Track is separated with a corresponding gap.
    2b.  R click video in Project Assets (pull-down menu appears), push Alt
    Result: pull-down menu disappears as soon as Alt is pushed down.
    I can stil drag the Vid clip but it's one more manual step...I love shortcuts!!

  • Audio tracks are auto muting during playback...

    Is anyone else experiancing auto-muting of a selected audio track when the play button is toggled? It is very annoying, and i'm wondering if its a bug or whether i have messed up some settings? At first i though it was only on track i had used the bounce in place feature (.bip   but it happens to any audio track that is selected when the play is toggled!
    Help?

    Thanks for the suggestion Jody. Would this work in 3.0.3 as I
    am not on 3.5 yet? I tried adding this to the fms.ini for 3.0.3 and
    nothing changed. It may also be worth noting that I am having the
    issue even with only a single user connected.
    When the client sends a message to the server to play my
    "demo" the server calls the following lines of code:
    application.mainStream = Stream.get("foo");
    application.mainStream.play("shortDemo", 0, -1, false,
    application.myVODConn);
    application.mainStream.play("liveEncoderVideo", -1, -1,
    false);
    This should switch from the currently playing
    "liveEncoderVideo" stream to the "shortDemo" and then back.
    The myVODConn is getting set up right as I can see the demo
    but again the audio just drops out after 2-3 secs. I also tried to
    use the AdobeBand sample files and I get the same thing.

  • Unable to perform multi audio tracks mixing with Audio Mixer

    How do you get a simple multi track mix with the Premier Pro 1.5 Audio Mixer?
    I got 2 audio clips, each sitting at the start of its own separate track (Audio 1 and Audio 2). I just want to mix them into the Master track.  Simple enough.
    So I go to the Audio Mixer. Position the CTI at the start of the tracks and hit the red RECORD button. The red spot starts blinking. Then I hit the START/STOP button expecting the tracks to start mixing into the Master track. Instead, I get this error message
         "PLAYER ERROR: You cannot record without enabling at least one track for recording."  
    I get the same problem if I try the mix onto a submix track.
    What am I missing? I combed through the Premiere Pro User Guide and J. Rosenberg's Premiere Pro Studio Techniques but to no avail.
    Thanks for any help.
    JB.

    Jacques, I havn't seen 1.5 for a while, so I need to stress that what I'm about to say is more of an educated guess linked to a rough memory.
    Each audio track in the mixer has a small chip (tickbox in 1.5??) that you click in order to enable that track for recording. In CS3 it's a little microphone.
    Having said that, I DON'T think that's going to give you what you want, as the intention of the recording functionality in PP is to record audio FROM AN EXTERNAL SOURCE (like a microphone) straight to an audio track, say, when doing a Voice Over for some video.
    You can't "mix down" to the master, as the master is not a track per se. It's just a "final" level control. The master will always be the sum of the active tracks, and THAT'S what will be rendered in the final output.
    You can still "live mix" your audio with the faders, it's just that those movements get recorded as keyframes on each of the tracks you modify (including, BTW, the Master).
    The advantage to this workflow is that every fader move you make is infinitley editable... a small error when riding the faders can easily be fixed by dragging keyframes.
    HTH.

    Why is it that it would take a very long time [if ever] to change or adjust the tempo of a loop in the audio track when i set it to adjust regions to locators? Until now the spinning wheel of death is still very much spinning. thanks for any help.
    Is there another way to adjust tempo of loops the faster way, any other technique?

    No clue why the final processes have suddenly started to take so long. Two things I'd try: a) capture from an older tape to see if some problem with the new tape is at fault.  And b) check the health of your RAM and the hard drive.
    The red frame sounds a bit like a glitch we used to have in OnLocation (actually in its predecessor HDV Rack) which was caused by a partial GOP. But that was a product of HDV Rack recording from the live video stream. It turned out that HDV cameras intentionally interrupt the data stream for an instant upon starting to record--specifically to avoid recording a partial GOP to tape. So my gut says that the tape has partial GOPs at the points where you stopped/started recording.

  • Importing a project into PE 12 trial version, not all audio tracks play back!

    I'm trying the trial vesion of PE 12.  Imported a project that I had created with PE 9.  Everything appears to have been imported, including all the audio tracks.  But when i play it back, some of the audio tracks are completely muted, while others, are fine and I can hear it.
    Any idea what can cause this?

    With "muted" Audio Tracks, I would look at a few possibilities, and especailly with a Project created in an earlier version of PrE:
    Open Audio Mixer, and look to see if any Tracks are Muted.
    Play the Timeline, and observe the Levels in Audio Mixer, and also whether there is any movement of the "sliders" in Audio Mixer.
    Observe which Audio Tracks your Audio Clips are, in the Timeline, and report those please.
    Making sure that Keyframe Display is set to Volume in your Audio Clips, are there any Volume Keyframes?
    I am sure that others will have a few more ideas, and questions.
    Good luck,

  • Is it possible to lock an audio track in "record enabled" mode?

    Here's how i write... i set up a drum loop to play for around 20 minutes, then I rec-enable one audio track to record vocals, and then finally, I skip around among hundreds of different midi tracks.
    I just hit the down arrow button, and scroll through dozens and dozens of midi tracks. I quickly hit the keyboard to listen to the sounds. If i like a particular sound, i just want to hit record, and instantly record my vocals along with the midi performance.
    Unfortunately, when i hit record, the vocal/audio track doesn't record. Right at the moment when i find an inspiring sound and hit record, the vocals just don't record.
    I'm forced to scroll miles up the arrange window, to find
    the vocal audio track. It's still blinking the red "rec" button, but this is misleading. It's not actually record enabled. I have to hold down shift, hit it once to turn it off, then hit it again to re-activate record function.
    Only then can i record the midi AND vocals.
    What I want and need is sooooooo simple to offer as a function, yet totally ruinous to my creative flow if it's not possible. (I used to do this easily on the far inferior
    Cubase VST 5.1, OS 9)
    Is there a way to record enable an audio track, so that,
    until I specifically disable the record function, it's
    ALWAYS ready to record the second I hit the record button?
    Even after I've been hitting the down arrow to audition
    various midi channels?

    I tried to build screensets like you suggested. If I could
    get this to work, I think it would be a great solution, but
    I'm having serious problems.
    I opened a separate mixer, with just the single vocal/audio
    track showing.
    Then I opened the main mixer, which has all the faders.
    If I record-enable a midi track, and then hit the record-enable button on the audio track, the midi track becomes un-enabled. Incredibly frustrating.
    The only way I've been able to do it has been to record-enable the vocal track, and then start recording.
    Only if Logic is actually recording, can i then record-enable the midi track without deactivating the audio
    track.
    A big problem is, that when i click to record enable the
    vocal track, the arrange window jumps all the way up to the
    top, where the audio track is. THen i'm forced to travel
    down, to re-find the midi track.
    You mentioned in your post that the mixer needs to be
    "unlinked". HOw is this done? Will it be possible for
    me to click on the record-enable button on the mixer's audio track without the arrange window jumping to that track?

  • How can I keep one of my audio tracks stationary when syncing multiple tracks?

    I am trying to edit a video that has external audio from an H4N recorder and internal audio from 2 Canon DSLRs. The internal audio is just there to help my sync everything and will be muted during output. From the H4N I have one long, continuous recording, but from the cameras I have shorter clips, not all of which happened exactly after the previous one.
    Here's the issue I'm having: when I sync the two video clips & the external audio early in the timeline, everything lines up (using the automatic synchronization based on waveform). However, when I am syncing clips later in the timeline, sometimes Premiere chooses to pull the external audio track FORWARD (thus bringing it out of alignment with the earlier video), rather than pushing the video tracks BACK (which is what I need).
    Is there some way to tell Premiere which tracks should and should not be moved during sync? If I lock the track, then I cannot use the sync function on it at all. I basically need a way to specify that one track should be used as the "anchor" and that others should be moved forward or backward as needed, without moving the "anchor" track.

    Cut up the 4n audio clip and synch it to its respective clips.

  • How can I turn off the sound from the original midi  or audio tracks when I turned on the duplicate tracks for editing ?

    How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I edit or listen to the duplicate tracks in Logic Pro 9 ?
    I'm using iMac desktop with Mac OS X Version 10.7.3. Pls advise.

    Dan,
    It sounds like one of your preferences has changed.
    Go to preferences > audio > general, and make sure "track mute/solo" is set to "CPU saving (slow response)". It is probably set to "Fast " at the moment.
    This setting (fast) basically causes immediate muting from the channel strip while your song is in play. This is because the audio is still being read from the hard drive, but the channel strip is simply muted.... like a hardware mixer. When set to "CPU saving", the audio from that track, when muted, is actually stopped from streaming from the hard drive, but there is a couple second delay before the audio is actually muted.
    One would think that the fast setting is generally preferable, except when you need to do what you are doing. The only way to keep duplicate copies of channel strips acting independent of one another is to leave this setting on the "CPU saving" setting.
    Hope that helps

  • CS5.5 Premiere → AE & RED audio disappearing

    Just talked my boss into upgrading CS5.5 (Mac) because we were having audio issues with CS5. So today I'm still getting this funky behavior when dealing with RED .R3D files in CS5.5
    I have some R3D clips edited in Premiere Pro CS5.5.  Every looks fine. Audio is synced.
    When I use AE CS5.5 and File> Import> Import Premiere Pro project…, I'm getting clips that don't have any audio. There's nothing in the waveform.
    But if I File> Import… the Premiere project as a footage item, the audio is fine. (But unfortunately, I lose my full-res 4K clips that I get with the Import>Import Premiere Pro project… method.
    There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason which clips will not have any audio and which will. It's maddening.
    And it's not clear when Import Premiere Pro project will break up layers into audio-only and video-only layers or have both audio & video in the same layer. (All my source RED footage has embedded audio tracks)

  • Global changes on an audio track or between in and out

    I've come over from Avid and on Avid I could set an in an out point on an audio track and then changes the values of volume and pan which would then be changed between the in and out points.  I'm editing an interview and the radio mic channel has flipped over to one side and I want it in the middle and cannot get it to stay there.    I know that I can "write" in the audio mixer and just hold it there for hours, but I'm assuming there is a simpler way.  I know about paste attributes but it's not clear what I'm copying and where I'm pasting those attributes.  It would be far simpler if I could just select the audio track, set it the way I want it and tell it not to change for the duration.  Any ideas?
    Thanks

    At the lower left of the timeline, there's a button that looks sort of like an upside down V. Click it- the clip overlays. You'll see red lines appear on your audio tracks. Grab the pen tool. Using it, you can click on the red rubber band lines to place key frames where you want. in your case, click once where you want your audio to begin fading out, then click again where you want the fade to end. On this last point, drag the keyframe all the way down, vertically.
    As mentioned earlier, you can do this in the viewer as well - using the pen tool.
