Nested sequence: after a cut, audio repeats from previous clip

Summary: In a nested sequence situation, I'm getting short audio repeats from a clip element just prior to a cut.
Context:
Premiere Pro CC, latest version at time of writing (7.0.1 (105), under Windows 7 (64-bit).
Structure: I have a sync-sequence (multicam source sequence) consisting of XDCAM-EX (file structure broadly along the lines of AVCHD) and Z1 (plain m2t files). Derived from / dependent on that is a multicam edit sequence, where I cut between camera angles. Then that sequence is itself nested in a master sequence (showing selected extracts of the performance).
For reference purposes: Multicam edit sequence consists (among other things) of a rock band's "big finish" followed by some applause. I made a cut in the audio part (only) of the nested sequence clip, to enable the audio for the applause to be normalized independently of the band performance. To smooth the join I added a crossfade transition over the cut. Nicer in principle than using volume envelopes.
When I play the original recording or the multicam sync-sequence or the multicam edit-sequence, all looks and sounds fine.
Problem:
When the Master sequence is played back (in preview or an exported/encoded clip) I hear the big finish, then applause starts, then after 2 seconds the "big finish" is heard once again, but at lower audio level.
This effect happens wherever I have used the same cut/normalize/crossfade technique in the (nested) multicam edit sequence. I have also encountered it in previous projects in Premiere CS6.
If I delete the crossfade then the problem disappears... Doesn't matter what type of audio crossfade is used.
Is this a known problem? and is there a quick workaround? (other than using envelopes instead or copying/patching the audio up to the master level)

Ah so [Sequence > Render Audio] is not just a "luxury item" to get waveforms to display when nested or to (presumably) to lower CPU load (e.g. when audio effects have been applied). It's something that I will need to always do from now on... It's a shame there's a "feature" but great to know of the workaround.
Thank you very much.

How can I copy an audio effect from a clip and paste it to another clip in the same timiline...With FCPro 7 it was all so fast........

The advantage goes to FCP7 if you allow that it can copy and paste filters, audio and video, transformations, and other attributes separately.
You can do that in FCPX too, as all the things you cited are listed separately in the inspector.
Here's a little gotcha. Let's say you've color corrected a few clips and you've applied an effect to one and want to paste it the other clips. You switch off color correction and copy the clip. You select the other clips and paste effects. What do you think happens? The effect is applied, but the color correction is applied as well, only it's switched off as it was in the first clip, so all the color correction on the other clips is lost. Fun, eh?
I'll try to replicate your gotcha - but no, that doesn't sound like fun at all!

Audio missing from Merged Clips

Okay, editing a feature film on Premiere CC. Just imported a project into my working project that contained the merged clips I created using my video (Red footage) and 2nd source audio. Files had been all renamed in Premiere to match scene/shot numbers. Kept only the merged clips, deleted everything else from working project folder, as I had for all the other clips that work perfectly fine. Edited the new clips last night, working perfectly.
Reopened project this morning to continue working, and now all of the clips have dead tracks as in no audio. The actual tracks are there, but there's no sound. I doubled clicked on just the audio track in the clip in the sequence and it's red in my source window.
How can I fix this?

I'm using the same workflow and reproduced the bug in 7.2.1. The issue is cut & paste of the merged clip.
After merging audio and video clips I would select the newly merged clip in the project bin, hit cut, select a different bin, and hit paste. The merge clip gets moved to the new bin, but also gets corrupted. From now on, the merged clip is missing audio information. When placed on the timeline, audio tracks are colored red and show no wavefrom. Even "Link media" can't properly associate the merged clip with the audio again.
To reproduce the bug, It's not necessary to delete the original clips that were merged, nor is it necessary to save and reload the project. After cutting & pasting the merged clip is damaged immediately.
Easiest workaround for now is to use drag & drop to move the merged clips to a different bin. That does not corrupt the files.
Hopefully a staff member can notice this thread and report the bug to development.

Weird audio behaviour from merged clips... 5 channels into 25?!

hello helpful community,
So, I have hand-synced quite a few clips for a project, and made sub clips by dragging everything into a bin.
The original audio files were .wav with 5 mono tracks, according to the modify clip window…
Now, after merging them, when I drag them into a new sequence to edit, the audio contains 25 channels, and the vast majority of them are blank… there is only audio on track 1,7,13,19 and 25.
Anyone fathom why 5 tracks became 25? I thought maybe each original track was a 5.1 track or something, so it split it into 25 mono tracks, but it says in the modify window that they are mono.
Any help would be great.

thanks for then pointer.
Seems others have had this problem.
Does manually deleting the additional audio tracks cause problems to propagate forwards? Any idea when this issue might be rectified?

Turning audio off from previous slide

I put together a CP5 demo for my lead to present at a meeting to show management some of the things CP5 can do. On the slides I placed and example of the following:
a Software Simulation
a video
project built from PPTs
Each of these had narrations in the example. WHen my lead when to run through it the audio from each continued to play when the project advanced to the next slide so by the end it was a chorus of voices. Is there a way to tell CP5 to stop the audio when the slide advances? I'm thinking it must be an advanced action but I"m not good with these.
Thanks,
Susan

Did you add each of these examples as Captivate published SWFs added on separate slides of a master project?
If so, you would effectively have three or more SWFs each with their own audio track. Unless you explicitly stop the audio for an SWF inserted into a Captivate movie slide, it will continue to play until finished.
For best results in Captivate you should avoid nesting Captivate movies within other Captivate projects.
Just copy and paste all the slides from each separate example into a main project file so that these slides become slides in the master project, each with their own separate audio on each slide. Then when you publish you shouldn't have problems with the audio playing over the top of other slides. When you move from slide to slide the audio from previous slides will cease playing.

Cutting and saving individual video and audio files from a clip

I have to cut 201 individual video and audio files for separate scenes from an 11-minute animated episode and save them as separate MP4 video and MP3 audio files. What is the most efficient way to do this?

Without knowing more about your project, it's hard to even guess at the most efficient workflow.
Like: Do these clips have audio or are you adding it? What format are these clips? What is the intended delivery for the 11 minute movie?
As a general matter, one creates an event, imports clips to it. Then organizes the clips according to the needs of job, using keyword collections and ratings. Then creates a project and starts a rough cut by marking ranges in the event browser and editing to the time line. Some people start with the music, making that the primary storyline mark where they want the edit to be and cut to that.
Upon finishing, one can choose one or more of the "destination" presets. It's possible to export Audio only or Video only or both. MP3 is one of the audio choices. Some of the presets are MP4. If you want possibly better quality and more control, export the files as master files and encode in Compressor.
Good luck.

Missing Audio Assets From Merged Clips

One of my original source tapes of an interview had distorted audio. So I imported the separate audio recordings for that tape into my project manager. I then created a new Sequence on my Timeline. I then dropped the original source tape with the distorted synched audio into that sequence. I then dragged the matching double-system audio into the sequence and proceeded to line up that double-system audio against the original distorted audio tracks of the source tape.
Once synch was complete, I Unlinked and deleted the old distorted audio track, leaving only the double-system audio. I then used the Delete Tracks command to eliminate the old original audio track, making the new audio track the A1 audio. I then used the Synchronize command, followed by the Link command. I understood this would merge the two assets into one new clip.
My problem is that although this new merged clip exists as the new sequence I created and is perfectly synched, when I now edit it in my Source Panel, and then use Insert, the video portion appears on the Timeline, but never any audio. I then checked the original video tape file (the distorted audio) from which I had created the new merged file (sequence) and found that it too does not bring audio with it when Inserted onto the Timeline. In both cases the edited video portion shows up but never any audio.
I cannot discover why the audio assets are not being associated with either the old video footage or the newly created merged clip with the double-system audio. Any offers of help would be appreciated.

You probably don't have any audio tracks targeted.

Firefox 4 does not work on my G5. After prompting me to update from previous version I am now left with nothing functioning. How do I go back?

After downloading the latest update Firefox kindly told me I should upgrade to V4. So I did. I downloaded it, dropped it into my applications folder and overwrote the old version. Only to be told when attempting to start the application "Firefox does not work with this architecture".
Brilliant. So I look for an older version on the site, and there is nothing to be found. Just the insistance that I should download version 4 for my Mac. Well, "IT DOESN"T WORK GUYS!"
Now can we have a fix please quickly or a link to the older version, as I am now left without all my bookmarks or passwords and you are about to effectively isolate a section of the computing community from ever using you again.

For your toolbars that you had installed before, are they simply incompatible with the latest version of Firefox?
Please try reading [[Add-ons are disabled after updating Firefox|Add-ons are disabled after updating Firefox]], as that may help with your addons.
As for Firefox running slow, is it slow lading web pages, or is just the whole browser slow? Try reading [[Firefox is slow|Firefox is slow]] , which may have some tips (the optimize Windows part especially).

Getting multiple audio tracks from monaural clips

Hello, newbie here... just moved from Vegas Pro to Premiere Pro.
Having searched everything as advised, I still cannot find the answer to my question.
I shoot with the EX3. When I drag a MXF clip to the timeline, it automatically creates four audio tracks which it inserts in tracks 4 thru 7, leaving Audio 1 empty, and this is with a monaural recording!
Can anyone tell me, please, what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!

Harm, I understand what you're saying. Thanks for your input.
Bill, I read your article, but I'm not entirely sure I understood it. I will read it again.
My question is (see graphic below):
Why is PPro creating three extra tracks-5 thru 7? How do I stop this behavior?

Removing audio tracks from a clip

Hi,
I have a set of HD clips that were digitized with 8 tracks of audio. I only need the first two. Is there a way to eliminate these extra tracks BEFORE dropping them on the timeline. It's a great annoyance to have to either lock off audio layers to prevent these from going on my timeline, or having to link and unlink layers and remove them.. There has got to be a better way!!
Any ideas??
Thanks!

Locate your clip in the Finder, on the Media drive. Duplicate your clip first...to make sure you don't mess anything up irreversibly.
Open it in Quicktime. Go to the WINDOW menu and then SHOW MOVIE PROPERTIES. Notice how you have a Video track, and then 8 audio tracks, and the timecode track. Delete the audio tracks you don't want by highlighting them and pressing DELETE.
Save the file. Import that into FCP to make sure it is done right.

How can I delete the audio track from a clip and have no audio associated?

the clips I insert always add an audio track,and seem to be linked to video track.I just want to delete audio tracks,and have no audio track associated with the original clips .
How do I do this ???

Second time this question came up today.
Click the a1/a2 buttons in the patch panel at the head of the timeline to decouple the audio from A1/A2. Then edit the picture into the timeline.

New Sequence at HD, automatically adjust resolution from previous sequence?

I imported video at full 1080 but edited together a sequence created before i adjusted the easy setup settings for full resolution. So it appears that although i imported the video at full 1080, i edited the clips at a smaller resolution. If i create a new sequence with 1080, is there a way i can just pull all the edits of my previous sequence and have them automatically adjust to 1080? thanks!

Copy and paste from one sequence to the other. Than use the remove attributes function to reset the clips in the new sequence back to their original condition.

After update calendar dates gone from previous months

After updating to 5.1.1. on my IPAD, My dates in my calendar are gone. How can I get my information back?

Norman,
Did you by any chance figure this out? I am having the same issue right now, with the phone being recognized...but not synching music (or anything else) to the phone. I no longer use my 3g as a phone, but only as an iPod.
Any insight you have will be appreciated.
Thanks!

Nested Sequence Audio Update Glitch

This problem seems to pop up on my system from time to time and I can never remember how to correct it.
Nested Sequence plays back with an audio track that is no longer in the nested sequence. When I open the nested sequence, sure enough, the audio track is not there.
I've tried "refreshing" the track as suggested by another thread by way of control clicking and removing none existant attributes. It didn't work. I've tryied adding Audio Filters that will require a render. It didn't work. I've tried deleting all of my audio render files. It didn't work. I've already resorted to overwriting the nested sequence in question with the same nested sequence, but there should be a way to fix this @#$% bug without doing that!
Ideas?

I apologize to anyone reading this for the negative tone of the post above.
I have since answered my own question and, as usual, the problem turned out to be one of my own making. I'm pretty sure that the reason that none of the other methods worked for getting rid of the glitch was that I had pulled the nested sequence in question out of a different project altogether and added it directly to the time line rather than adding it first to the bin of my final project and placing it into the timeline from there.

Why does my nested sequence have only one channel of audio?

Hi,
Working in Prem Pro CC on my Mac Pro.
I have a number of interviews, each shot with 3 cameras and with audio from a separate audio recorder. The audio has two channels, Ch1 has the boom mic and Ch2 a radio mic.
I created a sequence, placed the audio into channels 1 & 2 (they are linked) before placing the video tracks onto timeline tracks 1-3. Everything's synced nicely and so I nested the shots and then I enabled multicam on the nested sequence.
However, now when I edit the nested sequence into my edit sequence, it has only one channel of audio. I tried Modify>Audio Channels but within that page, in the option to select 'Source Channels' the options are "None" and "Channel 1".
How do I get my nested sequence to place both audio channels into my edit sequence?
Any help much appreciated.

Nevermind folks, I figured it out. I had my render control settings set to Apple Pro Res on some timelines.
