Nested timeline exports without audio (CS4)

Hi!
A problem with Premiere Pro CS4 on Windows Vista is puzzeling me quite a bit:
Timeline A consists of several timelines and effects. B is a timeline embedded in A. Timeline B by itself exports fine, i.e. with audio and video. However, when I export Timeline A, the part with timeline B has no audio.
What am I missing? Is this a Premiere CS4 bug?
Some more info: The raw material is wmv, for the parts that work as well as for the ones that don't. I also export as wmv. The original material was generated from mov files using the adobe media encoder.
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks!

Thank you for your answer A.T.
The screens were from the GoldWave program (similar to Audacity). I've checked the original and rendered versions in Adobre Premiere. The rendered one does not have audio channel.
Source audio: wav, 24 bit PCM, 2 channels, 44100 Hz (but it happens with every audio I've tried).

  • H.264 export without audio creates files that are not recognized in Quicktime or VLC

    Dear all,
    I need to generate h.264 files with video only. (short clips for use with a "clickable" catalog on an iPad)
    Used the "H.264" category and chose a preset. Unchecked "Audio" so I only get the video exported.
    The resulting .m4v file is not playable in Quicktime or VLC or MPEG streamclip.
    When I leave audio enabled with the same preset, the file is fine, but as soon as I export without audio, the resulting file is unreadable.
    Source material is ProRes 422HQ, audio+video, about 30-40 seconds long.
    Any clues?
    Carl.

    Thanks Jeff, I did get that far ;-)
    I'm sorry, probably my question wasn't very clear. Of course I can find some technical info about the iPad...
    And of course some of the presets in Media Encoder provide basic starting points for encoding.
    But... there is also the first iPad, I couldn't find the specs about it on the Apple site. On everymac.com I found:
    Apple reports that the iPad supports "H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats."
    So if I want to be compatible with all iPads I need to probably stay under 720p30 with [email protected] for H.264
    When I look at
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC
    I find (from the example values) that 1280x720@30p is quite near the maximum matrix size. So with 1024x576 I should be ok there. My bandwith of about 2Mbit is also well within range in this case. But what if I want to fill an iPod screen (1024x768) with the highest possible quality video? How do I calculate if this fits the max frame size requirements, where this is expressed in a number of luma samples and macroblocks? What is my max bandwith? The tables says that the "Max video bit rate for video coding layer (VCL) kbit/s" should be <14.000kbps. Does that directly translate to the sliders in my encoding app?
    If you look in the table "AVC software implementations" (under Software encoder feature comparison) you can see that some features that are supported in MainConcept, and not supported in Qt. (8×8 vs. 4×4 transform adaptivity, Quantization scaling matrices, Separate Cb and Cr QP control, etc. What are these exactly?)
    In Streamclip one can choose to have B-frames or not, in AME there is no such control. Does that mean it always encodes with B-frames? Why would one not want to have B-frames?
    A lot of parameters in AME H.264 encoding seem to be set to certain fixed values that are not accessible to the user. Other programs (Sorensen, Telestream) provide the user with access to more parameters. Which parameters in AME are set to what (fixed, non-accessible) values and why?
    As I said earlier, Quicktime reports different codecs for what should be the same format but from different encoders. Why? Is there a program that can analyze a H.264 stream and report about it in more detail than VLC/Quicktime?
    etc. etc. etc....
    If anyone could recommend an online resouce or a book to learn more about the ins and outs of H.264 encoding/decoding that would be great. I have the first edition of Charles Poynton's (brilliant!) book "Digital Video and HDTV", which does talk about MPEG-2 but not H.264. I saw that the second edition goes a bit more into detail about H.264. Does anyone have the second edition? Worth buying just for the relatively small addition about H.264?
    Thanks.

  • Quicktime exports without audio

    Movies from my camera play fine with audio on quicktime and youo tube but when I export to create file for my iphone, the options page says no audio file and exported movie has no audio. Help anyone?

    QuickTime can view MPEG-1 formats but can't extract audio of muxed files during export.
    Use MPEG Streamclip (free).

  • Premiere CS4 and Audition / Soundbooth - Exporting Multitrack Audio

    This seems like it should be a well-discussed topic, but I cannot find any difinitive answers on the matter.
    What is the best way (if there is one at all) to export the audio portion of a video project with the intention of editing it in a proper auidio editing environment? (Assuming I do not want to bounce down to a single, stereo mix.)
    My specific issue is this:  I recorded a live concert using four cameras.  I want the final audio to be a mix of the recording from the board and the mics in the various cameras.  (The cameras offer a bit of room ambience and some crowd noise which the on-stage mics did not capture.)
    My cameras do not accept a timecode input, so a lot of time was spent syncing up the four cameras' footage.  Now I want to mix down the four cameras and the one from-the-board audio-only track.  But Premiere Pro CS4's audio editing functions are a bit ... clunky?  I do all my audio editing in Cakewalk's Sonar, but am willing to give Audition a try.  But I can't figure out how to get all my audio files into the audio editing program without having to sink some time into re-syncing them.
    Can I export as a multitrack .aiff or .wav?  Then edit that package of tracks in my DAW, then re-export / import back into premiere?  Has anyone tackled something like this before?
    Thanks, in advance, for your help.

    What are your exact steps to edit in SB or AU? Do you first Rt-click on the Audio Clip and choose Edit in SoundBooth (or Audition)? Do you Render and Replace (basically what happens with the previous method), and then Open that resulting file in SB, or AU?
    From SB, or AU, how do you Save your file - exact steps please?
    Good luck,

  • CS4 Exporting Trouble - Audio / Video Sync

    I'm having a lot of trouble exporting from Premiere CS4. I have a 5 minute video project shot in 1920x1080 and I'm just trying to export it into a format that can support its HD. When I try the H.264 BluRay preset, though, the audio and video are hugely off sync from each other. I've exported smaller portions using the Windows Media Video format, and that looks great, but it won't render my entire video without the export failing due to an error.
    Is there any way I can get this exported without selling myself short on quality?

    Dang, for most users, the MainConcept H.264 has been about perfect.
    Maybe another user will have some ideas on the OOS issues. Most of those seem to revolve around Apple's H.264, but that is not the case with your Project. Sorry that I could not help.
    Good luck,

  • How can I export an audio track with just the effect signal without the audio?

    I want to export dry audio tracks and their effects signals as separate tracks. For instance a track with a reverbed snare would be one track with the dry snare and one with just the reverb.
    I know from people who use Reason that it's just a box you need to tick, but I'm struggling to find out how to do it in Logic. Surely it must be a way?

    I don't remember Reason being that straight forward, but the obvious way to go, is to mute all sends and bounce.
    Then solo the reverb channel, in aux, checking it isn't shared by other sources, and bounce. You should have a dry and a reverbed signal, at your convenience. 

  • GoPro clip added to timeline has no audio.. sometimes.

    Hi All,
    I've been bashing my head against this one all day.
    I've been attempting to use multiple clips shot with different GoPro's. As I add the clips to the timeline in PP (CC2014) I lose the audio for the second/third/fourth added clips. The behaviour is very odd. Starting with a new project (default settings), I can drag a GoPro clip to the timeline, either from the media browser or the bin, and the clip adds normally. Adding a second or third or more clip adds a clip without audio. If I double click that clip in the media browser, it plays in the source window with audio. Playing the clip in VLC or other players shows that it has audio. Start back at the beginning, create another new project, and when I grab the second clip from the previous project it adds normally to the timeline. Only the second/third etc clips added in a project lose their audio.
    If I select 10 clips from the bin and create 'new sequence from clip' then all the audio is present in all ten clips.
    I've transcoded the clips using Prelude. I've trimmed and exported the clips from GoPro Studio 2.0. This occurs with clips created with and without using protune, and on various levels of camera (white up to black+).
    What am I missing? Something simple, I'd guess. I've not been able to find any clues on google...
    Thanks!

    fixed, and it was simple (and inexplicable)..
    to the left of the timeline are various little boxes to be turned on and off. the left most panel, the top of which says 'insert or overwrite sequences as nests or individual clips' has two tabs below, V1 and A1. In my case, my A1 had been turned 'off'. So, when I have that A1 highlighted, everything works normally. Turned off, your second or third placed clip will have no audio. Bizarre? I need to learn more..
    I must've clicked that in error some time ago. Curious that it appears to have appeared in multiple projects. Do basic project settings like that last in preferences?

  • How do I export detached audio files as separate files, for Pro Tools processing?

    My project is a live band performance. I have every song as a separate Event with associated audio. I have detachd all the audio from all the video Events. I now want to Export the audio files to Pro Tools for editing, then Import the edited audio back into FCP X and snap the edited audio to the associated video Events.
    My problem is this: FCP X keeps exporting the audio as a single large WAV file, rather than as separate WAV files. In fact, the video events are separate, and so the audio associated with the video Events are separate.
    I first renamed the Role of every audio file as "Music", then did a Share --> Export Media of all "Music" audio Roles. After exporting, I found it was one large WAV file, rather than separate files of different sizes.
    As a 2nd try, I created Sub-Roles for each audio clip, and named each one with a distinct Sub-Role name. I then Exported all these Sub-Roles (yes, tedious). The result was that every exported WAV file was the same size, the same as the file size in my first try. The only audio that could be heard in each file was the audio in that particular song, but FCP X still created the very large file with silence in all the rest of the file. Since the file lengths don't match the original audio fil lengths, there will be a problem when I Import the edited files back into FCP X and want to Snap them into place.
    Question:
    How can I export the individual detached audio clips as separate files, the length of each file equaling the length of the original audio file in FCP X?
    Do I need to separate the detached audio into separate Layers visually in the Project Timeline, so they are not touching? Or does this matter?
    Help!!

    No.
    You need to explore Compound Clips. This workflow may or may not be of help.
    Select an Event with clips in it and press Option+G to make a (blank) compound clip.
    Select the Event Browser, create a new Event and call it 'Effects'.
    Drag the Compound Clip into this Event.
    Right-click the clip and select 'Open in Timeline'.
    Select the timeline and press Option+W. This will add a Gap Clip to the timeline.
    Select the gap clip and press Ctrl+D then type in the duration you want the clip to be.
    Now open a project and select and copy one of the clips with effects etc.
    Open the Compound Clip in the Timeline again, select the gap clip and press Option+Cmd+V to paste the effects into your Compound Clip.
    This clip is now saved in your Browser and will remain there for you to copy and then paste the effects into any clip in any project.
    It's a bit clunky, but it works - and once you learn about Compound Clips, you can work wonders with them. As an example, if you want to add more effects without overwriting the effects in the Compound Clip, simply make the Compound Clip into a Compound Clip (again) and add the effects. They will be added to the original effects.

  • Banding/Posterization Artifacts in Premiere Timeline & Export

    I am having an issue with Premiere CS6. Just for some details...I am on a 2013 27" iMac. 32gb ram, NVidia GeForceGTX 680MX.
    I am editing 5D Mark iii footage. I am experiencing bad compression when editing and exporting the footage. I have tested all forms of export settings (VBR 2, higher bit depth, maximum bit depth, uncompressed Animation, etc)...all looking the same as the timeline does. Which is leaving me to believe it has something to do with the timeline. I am NOT using previews to export...however, under Sequence Settings, I have tried to use Maximum Bit Depth & Maximum Render Quality.
    All getting the same results. The actually footage does not have bad compression, and I am testing my exports without doing any color correction or anything to them. Just testing how the export out of the timeline.
    Within the preview monitor, the footage looks fine, within the sequence monitor...it looks terrible. Please look closely at the gradient in the sky to see the artifacts. I have attached an screenshot.
    Your help would be greatly appreciate. I do understand that I will get some compression when exporting for the web using .h264... as I am quite familiar with compression. However, in this situation...it seems to be in my timeline before I even do any edits.

    I would like to add some things. I have been struggling with this all day...and am noticing a coorilation between using plugins that are creating this effect. One is WARP STABILIZIER, and the other is TWIXTOR. In both situations...you can see that this banding is being created when enabling them. Here are examples. Look at the gradient in the sky.
    This is Warp Stabilizer Off -
    This is Warp Stabilizer On -
    This is Twixtor Off -
    This is Twixtor On -
    Note the banding going on in the sky. There are no other effects applied to the clip at this time. Just so you can compare side by side...here is a picture with twixtor on with the source footage beside it -
    I could REALLY use some help here. I have 5 projects I gotta get done, and I am totally stuck here. I have tried everything! Thanks!

  • HELP!---Quicktime Export Loosing Audio

    Thanks for reading this.
    I have a quicktime that I downloaded. It's called Batman Dead End. Perhaps you've seen it. Well I saved it from the site and now want to bring it into after effects so that I can crop out the black bars, so I can save it as an MPEG4 file and copy it to my PSP.
    My problem is when I try to import into after effects, I get an error. AE doesn't like the compression codec or something. However this isn't my Quicktime Problem...
    My problem is that I can't export the Quicktime file using QTP 7.0.2, with AUDIO. Video is not a problem. I tried many different codecs, but I am never presented with the option to export my audio. When I save the file in whatever codec, I loose the audio.
    These are the codecs I've tried:
    MPG4
    MPG4 (ISMA)
    MPG4 H.264
    QUICKTIME MOVIE
    AVI
    Here's one thing... I tried DV. It gave me the audio option and the video exported nicely out as a .DV file. However I am sure I won't always have such nice big video to export without it looking like crap. If I am downloading a movie trailer (as I like to do) then I will have a problem saving those files as .DV.
    Can you guys & gals help?

    What's the format of the original clip? If it's MPEG-1 or MPEG-2, you've run up against a limitation WRT QT & muxed audio tracks in those formats.
    You'll need to use MPEG Streamclip to demux/transcode into another format.

  • Nesting does not retain audio settings

    This one has me stumped. I am working on a project that is being built in segments. As the segments are built I am nesting to later bring them for the final output. One and only one of the nested sequences is giving me trouble.
    Each of the nested sequences has one audio track, mono for VO. All other show two lines of audio when the sequence has been saved as a nested item. When this one is saved it too shows that it has two audio tracks and plays back fine until you take it out of the timeline and then try to re-import it, magicly only one of the tracks appears and only plays back on the right channel. In the browser it does show two outputs just like the rest do but will only pull one in the timeline.
    Anyone have a clue what I'm doing wrong or have had a similar experiance?
    Thanks in advance

    Something silly you might check is to load the nest into the viewer and check to see that both channels aren't panned right.
    Usually when I get stuff like this it's a render issue which is why I suggested making sure all of your audio is 48k and not needing a render.
    Also, like Steve suggested if your audio is all mixed down it shouldn't be doing that.
    Worst case scenario - can you select all and copy paste your sequences into a final sequence instead of bringing the nests in?

    My PP3 gives me an unkonwn error message in a debug window everytime I try to render my timeline that has one 2 seconds clip of another nested sequence...!?!
    It occurs at about a fifth of the 1st of 2 audio preview render that it has to do.
    I usualy did have problem rendering file with PP2 cause of Premiere's system memory bug, but never I've add trouble before in PP3...until well now.
    What is the problem? Anybody experiencing that bug also?

    The project in which this problem occurs is about 1 TB of footage in AspectHD Low HD; there's 37 tape captured in batch and recomposed on a different sequence for each tape to compensate for the lost of timecode when digitazing with CINEFORM (so 37 nested time line).
    I use those nested timelines as if I was picking shots from a huge clip that captured the whole tape.
    Of course Premiere ask me the render the sequences nested in addition to the main one in which I edit footage...
    I'm currently editing a trailer and wanted to render 2 clip that were sampled from 2 different sequences, but PP3 has the bug windows at 10,51% and closes. The text in the debug window is that "Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to close. Sorry about..."
    If you need anymore info please ask what specificaly, cause I would be at a lost to add more...:)

  • How to report Quicktime bug? MPEG-2 Export no audio

    Subject says it all. I did not find any possibility to log a bug for Quicktime. How to do this?
    My problem is:
    I have MPEG-2 movies from my Sony digital camera. Quicktime plays them without problem. But when I export them to any format, QT exports them without audio. The audio section in the export dialog is grayed out.
    Doing the same in MPEG Streamclip works without problem.

    MPEG-1 is an obsolete low-res, poor quality format. MPEG-2 (DVD) is a delivery and not an editing format. You can send in 1000 sugegstions and you will never see MPEG-1/2 exporting audio in Quicktime.
    They do read the forums and there are people who test and submit feature requests for programs like Quicktime. But this one won't fly, and it has been around for ages here.
    The good news is the free MPEG Streamclip is as fast or faster and does batches of these pesky files so use that and forget asking for this feature.

  • Export without Title Role

    What I am wanting to do is export without Text a clean Timeline. What would be the suggested route to take? Have tried turning of the Title Role and Exporting and found the text is still there. Why? Suggestions Please or even better Answers.
    P.S. Please Apple, Batch Export, Soon.

    what do you mean by "role." 
    Look at the names of the title "clips."  If they're all the same, simply do a find for the name in the sequence with find all.  They will all be selected and hit control-b to disable them all.
    When I finish a project, I find it useful to clean up the timeline and move all titles to a higher video track(s) so it's easy to turn this track's visibility off.
