No sound when importing footage

Hi all, I'm new to CS4 and also have a new Camcorder (Sony HDR CX11e) I've taken some footage in STANDARD definition and dragged it from the memory stick to my hard drive. I can play it in windows media player fine but when i import it into PP the sound is missing, I don't have this trouble with my HD footage.
Can anyone help please as I've been at it for a few days now and searched forums but still cant fix it?
I'm running vista 64 bit windows and have updated CS4 and the file format I'm trying to import is .mpg

Welcome to the forums.
PPro CS4 currently has a problem with AC3 audio.
Use the supplied Handycam Station to get the video off the memory stick onto the hard drive, then demux the video and conver the audio to WAV, then import the video and audio and add them to the timeline.
A fix is due in late May.
Cheers
Eddie

  • Error message when importing footage

    I have Premiere Pro CS4 for Mac and I am trying to import footage from my Fujifilm digital camera the model is F470.  When I import the footage it gives me an error message of "unsupported compression in file"  The file is a .avi and when I try to use ffmpegx to try to convert the file it says it is an unrecognized file.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks so much.

  • No sound when importing from a Sony HDR-HC7

    Hello all together,
    I bought a new Sony HDR-HC7, the camera is fantastic. There is only one thing perplexing me: When importing HD-Clips into iMovie HD 6.0.3 I cannot hear the sound that was recorded by the camera. When I play the clips, I can hear sound. What could this be?
    With my old Sony TVR 33 (no HDV) I don't have this problem.
    Did I forget any settings?
    Thanks for advices,
    Stefan

    Hi Stfan:
    I guess I would try the easy things first.
    Make certain that " Video Play Through Camera " is
    not enabled in imovie Preferences. That is
    because it sends all audio through the FireWire port
    and mutes it on the computer.
    ake certain your video is 16-bit audio (not 12-bit).
    Once you have imported (and saved) the video into
    imovie, close imovie. Then unplug all firewire
    devices (camera included).
    Relaunch imovie. Is the audio there now?
    Sue
    Hi Sue,
    thank you for your advice. As I use the German version I am not quite sure, if "Video Play Through Camera" is in the third tab of the iMovie-Prefs the fourth checkbox overarm? This one's unenabled. Audio is 16-bit.
    Audio was alwas there in the play-mode but not in the import-mode.

  • No sound when importing mpg file

    I have used several camcorders as sources for video clips. All of the clips can be imported to my Premiere Pro CS4. The problem I am having is that the mpg files from one of the cameras, when importing the clip, the video comes through fine, but the sound does not come through at all.

    Is the problem MPEG file using MPEG audio or Dolby audio format?

  • No sound when importing video CS3

    Hi Guys
    Here's my situations. I am a media technician in a school and have a PC running windows 7 and Premier Pro CS3 installed. We have just got some new Lenovo G700 laptops (Windows 8) and I have installed Premiere CS3 on these using the original instal disks.
    When I import a video on the laptops I am not getting any sound, when i drag the video onto the timeline there is no audio track. If i use the same video on my PC it works ok! I have had the settings side by side an the ONLY difference I Can see is under the info tab when clicking a video in the project is says 'VIDEO' on the laptops and on my PC it says 'MOVIE' other than that everything is the same!
    Any ideas?
    One other thng, the videos play using WMP on my PC with no problems, however on the laptops they freeze and only play the audio, so I was thinking maybe a codec issue? but I have never gone out my way to instal a codec on the PC it's just always worked

    Ryan,
    Welcome to the forum.
    A MOD will likely Move this post to the Premiere CS4 & Earlier sub-forum, but your link, and any e-mail subscriptions will follow.
    One of the main causes of no Audio, or truncated Audio, on Import is the failure of Audio Conforming not completeing 100%. This article goes into more detail, and offers tips: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3892177#3892177
    The Conforming of the Audio is for Premiere, so being able to PLAY the muxed file in WMP is not a good test, other than to insure that the file does contain an Audio Stream.
    Good luck, and please let us know if this is an Audio Conforming issue.

  • No audio when importing footage under capture

    When I'm importing footage from my camcorder into FCE there is audio in the caputure window & no levels on my audio meters. The camcorder I'm using is a ZR500 Mini DV using to import.
    These are the steps I have done: File -> Easy Setup then Format: -> (all formats)
    after that Use: DV-NTSC Firewire Basic.
    Then I went to File Capture. Any advice? I'm getting no audio when importing on
    FCE 4?

    Welcome aboard idw3,
    Then I went to File Capture. Any advice? I'm getting no audio when importing on
    FCE 4?
    That's normal for FCE. All versions have been the same. If you need to hear the audio use the cameras headphone socket if it has one.
    All audio can be adjusted in the Timeline during editing as required.

  • No sound when importing video

    I am importing video into iMovie using a Canon Elura 85. The DV port does not work on the camera, so I have a cable with 3 RCA plugs on the end that goes from the camera's AV port that connects to my Canopus. I plugged two of the RCA plugs into the Left and Right audio ports on the Canopus, and one RCA plug into the video port. I am able to see the video image show up in iMovie's import screen, but there is no sound. How can I solve this? Thanks.

    iMovie does not play sound on import. Most cameras that iMovie supports do not import in real time, so sound is not meaningful. It could be useful for those with tape based cameras, but these cameras usually have a speaker so you can hear it on the camera.

  • Error when importing footage captured with I-Movie!

    Hi there -
    Using the latest version of I-Movie..., latest everything (new G5)
    I create a new blank project - and try importing the footage I captured previously in I-Movie.
    I select the project file containing the captured footage, and select "import"......and..........
    I get the error message:
    ERROR DURING IMPORT
    The file could not be imported: The file “Macintosh HD/Users/xxx/Movies/Ireland 2” can’t be imported; QuickTime couldn’t parse it: -43
    What's that all about?
    Should be do-able - no? It's the latest version of Quicktime, OSX etc.
    (there are no plugins in the plugins folder for I-Movie by the way)
    Pls help!

    Hi Florence,
    just to see, if I understood correctly:
    you have project A, with some captured video...
    now, you have a new project B
    you choose "import"
    and select "project A" for importing?
    no, that doesn't work with iMHD...
    your imported footage of project A is hiddin in a socalled "package" (in earlier versions ofIm you could see a "media folder", containing single .dv files...) you cannot import pkg into iM......
    switch to finder
    ctrl click - click on project A icon
    choose "show package"
    select "media"
    copy files into new folder
    switch to iM
    import from new folder.....
    besides: importing from tape is ... better/best-practise...

  • No sound when importing AVCHD MTS files into premiere cs5.5

    Hello
    I have footage that was shot with the sony nx sf-100 and it is ACVHD mts files.
    when I import the files to the bin, it is being imported without sound (no sound track at all when dragged into the timeline).
    The footage has sound - that has been confirmed.
    I am working in an AVCHD sequence and I'm importing the files using the media browser.
    There are many refrences to this problem online - but all give the solution of recompresing the videos in a new format, although every documentaion cliams that premiere is supposed to take AVCHD natively including sound.
    Does anyone have a solution for this?
    Thanks,
    Oded

    My apologies. I beleive I mixed up my versions for support. 5.5.x should support PCM audio. Thank you, Jeff.
    I have confirmed that I am indeed getting audio with files from a Sony NEX FS-100 camera, with CS5.5.2 on my systems. Oded, would it be possible to send me a sample file that exhibits this issue for you?
    Things to try are deleting your Media cache (Preferences > Media > Media Cache Database, click Clean button). Make certain that your copy of Premiere Pro is activated: check under Help menu you should see "Deactivate..." noted.
    Thank you.

  • No Sound when importing mts-files

    Hi there!
    I am strongly using Adobe Premiere Pro for years now, and since I work with the AVCHD Codec I got this problem:
    Every time I import a mts file into premiere pro, it got no sound with it. I first tried this with premiere pro cs4 (last update). There it worked properly. Then I upgraded to cs5, and suddenly the problem was there. I reinstalled the application, I installed all sorts of codecs, etc etc... nothing worked. Then I upgraded to premiere pro cs5.5, and the sound was back. Just as normal as it should be! And now, that I have premiere pro cs6, the sound is gone again...
    It's just really annoying and sometimes even preventing me from doing my work! Because when I have really really much footage to import, I have to convert it to mp4 first!
    Please, I don't know what to do any more, this is driving me crazy!

  • MTS file has no sound when importing to AE

    I have 2 computers.
    On computer 1, I import a MTS file and it has sound. All good.
    On Computer 2., iimport the same MTF file and it has no sound.
    How come?
    Both machines have CS6. Windows 7 and as already mentioned, same MTS file ( coming from Panasoic Camcorder)
    Thank you

    here are my answers to the questions (btw - thank you very much for helping me here)
    - Absolutely correct. The "working" machine shows the wave audio things when I press LL and the "not-working" machine does not.
    - No, the "non-working" machine does not give the option to enable/disable the audio (under Speaker icon).under the Speaker icon, its just empty.
    - When I import the video on the "non-working" machine, no matter where, it has no sound (footage panel, composition panel, ... ). but when I import other videos on this "non working" machin, it DOES work and it CAN import audio just the way it should be. It is just MTS files can not be imported with Audio on this "non working" machine.
    -I tried with brand new project, same thing. not working audio

  • No sound when importing MTS files into Premiere Pro?

    Hey guys, I'm editing a film for my Drama Assessment at school. I used a Canon HD Camcorder which saves files as .MTS extension. My problem is that when i import the files into Premiere Pro CS5 there appears to be no sound???? CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE!!!

    if you can hear the audio  with media player or with any other player in your computer then check settings
    EDIT--PREFERENCES--AUDIO HARDWARE AND CLICK ON ASIO SETTINGS.
    another dialog box will appear and in that under
    INPUT AND OUTPUT TAB
    MAKE SURE ALL THE OPTIONS/BOXES SHOULD BE CHECKED .
    DO NOT FORGET TO UPDATE TO 5.0.3

  • Out of sync sound  when import mpeg4

    I've import mpeg4 file from my Flipcam. I just wanted to make tigher ins and outs. But when I pull it into to timeline - the sound is out of sync. Any ideas why?
    Thanks in advance.

    MPEG 4 is not an editing format.
    Convert your video to one of the codecs found in Final Cut Pro"s Easy Setup menu.
    Does this camera shoot HD or SD?

  • No sound when importing mpg

    I've imported an mpg file into Final Cut Express and it plays but there is no audio. Same thing in iMovie. I have flip 4 mac and it plays fine in quicktime, but when I import it to Final Cut Express or IMovie there is no sound. What do I need to do to get sound?

    Mpeg2 movies must have their audio demuxed first.
    The way I prefer is to use MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert the mpeg2 file to a .mov file before importing to FCE. You also need the Quicktime MPEG Playback component (20$) by Apple to let Streamclip to read the mpeg2 files. It's important you export from MPEG Streamclip (Export to Quicktime, NOT Export to DV!) using the standard parameters for FCE: video DV-PAL or NTSC (fps 25 or 29,97 fps), audio stereo uncompressed, 16-bit, 48 kHz.
