Premiere 8.1 overwrites adjacent audio clip when original clip sent to Audition

We have been editing a documentary in PR 8.0.1 for several months and the UI started to get really sluggish 1.5 weeks ago. I upgraded to PR 8.1 to see if it would solve the problem and hadn't checked the forum. We were able to get a couple of days of editing before hitting this issue and hope to get it resolved and not have to redo the edits. I spent a couple of days with support and decided to revert back to a clean installation of PR 8.0.1 to work on a couple of other projects while the 8.1 issues get worked on.
The original problem was orphaned PR processes (up to 4) that were left when PR was closed. We are able to get work done by terminating the orphaned processes.
The audio issue is a show stopper and I didn't see anything similar in the forums. I have an original MXF audio clip next to one that had been successfully sent to Audition. The original audio immediately gets the adjacent clips file when played after I select the clip and "Edit in Adobe Audition". The audio in Audition is correct. I figured out that I can take other original MXF clips and "Edit in Adobe Audition". I then go back by one step in the history tab in PR and then copy the audio .wav file from Explorer to the PR timeline. It still shows the adjacent clips peak file, but plays correctly. We are going to continue sending the rest of our .mxf audio to Audition and will try to replace the two bad clips with their originals. I have no idea why these clips are tied together and although the clip name is correct, it is playing the adjacent clips audio. Very odd.
I've deleted the PR and Audition Cache Files and Media Cache Files. No help. I logged case 0186055576 on the 29th, which is when I removed all Adobe products and reinstalled them. Audition is Build 7.1.0.119 and Premiere is 8.1.0 (81). I'm running on Windows 7, i7 920, 48 GB, LSI 9286CV-E RAID disks and Nvidia GeForce 480. I have tried it with Mercury Playback Engine GPU and software only, no help. The sequence is DV NTSC 29.97 and 48 kHz audio. The problem clips are from a Canon XF305. I have old SD footage which is why the sequence is SD. There are also 5d Mark III clips with sync quality sound. The lavalier audio was recorded to the XF305. Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated. I work in Seattle and could provide all source files on a USB drive if anyone at Adobe is interested, please, please.

I think i have found the reason for this and a workaround for it. However it would be good to be fixed in the next update !
So what i think it was was that some of the recorded sound came as a wav which was 5 mono tracks. When normally sending straight out as an OMFI or to Audition it was seeing these as a full 5 tracks each time therefore one track would be the equivalent of 5.
Workaround is as follows for future reference :
Working from a copy of the project
1)Delete all video tracks and then render and replace audio. This creates extracted audio which you then need for the next step.
2) Project manager the Sequence as it's just extracted audio it won't copy video files so should give a reasonable size folder.
3) Open the project managed project which will reference just the extracted Wav's but it also loses the tie between the combined tracks
4) Then one track at a time export out an OMFI embedded.
Weirdly the AAF was still having the same issues after this. So i believe that was a red herring. Premiere just seems to struggle embedding with an AAF. OMFI is fine though.
This is quite a roundabout way but works with no issues . Adobe please fix this, FCP and Avid work first time without all of this mucking around.

Video and audio sync when viewing clips online

When viewing clips, like on youtube, the graphics start playing, however there is no sound, only after a few seconds the graphics freeze and the sound that was missing starts playing and the graphics resume when they're in sync again.
Also when I pause a video and click play the clip will not resume and I have to click the "time bar" and then it will play.
My 13 MB Pro starts furiously blowing the cooling fan and consuming battery life when viewing clips on most video sites.
How can I fix these things?
This already happened before upgrading to Lion, btw.

Are you capturing this thru the LS? and what is the format you are digitizing? DV? or uncompressed? Would be best I'd think if you don't capture audio and video as separate files too. That leads to problems especially with DV captures.
How are you monitoring the audio and video? all from computer or? You could be in sync and not know it if you are using computer speakers for monitoring audio when watching video externally for example.
If you monitor both from the computer and it is in sync, but not when you record to video, I'd suggest that you export a self contained movie of this material and import that for the print to the beta... I'll wager that will keep your sync. If this doesn't help, might want to post this in the AJA KONA forum at http://www.creativecow.net Might be something to do with your LS, not sure but do have the latest drivers installed on it...

After "Replace with clip" the original clip can not be deleted from the project - why?

After using "replace with clip" to replace clip A in the timeline with a new clip B , clip A can not be deleted from the project anymore.
If you try to delete clip A, you get a warning, that it still has references in one or more sequences.
If you continue and delete clip A, it seems to be deleted - at first!
Unfortunately if you save and reopen the project, clip A is restored to folder "Recovered clips".
It's not possible to really delete it.
I also did not find a way to unlink clip B from A .
The only thing you can do, is to revert the change by "Restore Unrendered" in the clip context menu. But that's obviously not helping
I dont know if this is a bug or a feature. I understand, that it can be useful to undo the "replace clip" function, but why would anyone not want to be able to delete the original clip at all?
help how to fix this problem is greatly appreciated!
I use Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 (Win7 64bit)

I'm sure it has nothing to to with other sequences.
You can easily reproduce this behaviour:
1. create a new project
2. import 2 clips and name them "A" and "B"
3. put "A" in the timeline
4. ALT-drag "B" over "A" in the timeline (or right-click "A" in the timeline while selecting "B" in the project files and select "replace with clip ... from bin")
5. delete "A" from the project files
6. save and close project
7. reopen project
=> "A" reappears in "Recovered clips" and can not be deleted.

Adobe Premiere Pro CC Timeline automatically zooms in when moving clips around

This is an issue that keeps happening. It has been an ongoing problem with Premiere Pro CC and now 2014.1. It would start after working for a while on a project and become more frequent as the project gets larger. The only way to rectify the problem is restarting the computer. I would be working and I go to drag a clip around on the timeline and the timeline will automatically zoom in and thus place the clip in the wrong location. This happens when I am not holding down any keys. It will continue to zoom in every time I move any clips on the timeline and once it starts it happens on all sequences. While restarting the computer seems to help I have to do that 5 or more times in a day which can be very frustrating. It doesn't seem to be related to any OS, computer, hard drive/storage. Deleting preview files, flushing PRAM, trashing preferences doesn't help either. I usually work with Quicktime files AppleProRes Codec or H.264. Any help or insight into this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Here is a video that demonstrates the bug:
Premiere Pro Version: Every version from 7.0.0 to 8.1
OS Version: Every version of Mavricks and Yosemite including version 10.10.1
The footage I most use is H.264 and ProRes 422
The problem occurs randomly throughout the day, nothing seems to trigger it. When it starts the only way to make it stop is to restart the computer
Other software running at this particular time is” Mail, Evernote, Safari, OmniFocus, On The Job, Text Expander, Messages, Preview
No third-party effects or codecs installed.
Hardware:
Mac Pro (Late 2013)
3 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon 5
32 GB 1866 MHz DDR3
AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB.
No third-party I/O hardware.
Mercury Playback Engine is turned ON

Hi Patrick,
Sorry, I've never seen that. What happens if you do not run any other software launched as you work? If you have time, please file a bug report: http://adobe.ly/ReportBug

Audio dissapears when adding clips to sequence

When I move a clip from the viewer to the canvas or timeline the audio dissapears....meaning only a silent video clip is added to the sequence. Any ideas? thanks

Hi,
Lets see if the following could be the problem:
On the left hand side of the timeline right next each audio tracks there are two buttons whit the speaker icon on them, one to mute the audio (turns yellow) the other to make the sound audible (turns dark gray together with the respective audio track).
Now, in the bottom left corner of the timeline there's a tiny button with a speaker on it click on it If you can't see the first button I previously mentioned.
Is the first speaker button appearing yellow? Is the second one grayed out? (If so the silent audio track appears grayish?)
In one of these cases you would not hear any sound from the audio track because you clicked either on one or the other button of the audio track.

Audio missing when importing clips

Hi, importing clips from my Sony handycam, no audio is available. Even opening the single clip file with Quicktime, no audio. Don't think it's the camera, as long as I tried with another similar model and the same problem occurs.

Hi all, just updating iMovie to 9.0.7 version the issue was fixed.
Thx all

My transitions are distorting my clips when the clips are stabilized.

I stablized every clip in my storyboard (timeline), and whenever I add transitions it jumps in and out of stabilization. What do I do?
Final Cut Pro X

I tried that: I shortened the end of the outgoing clip and lengthened the beginning of the incoming clip, so that a centered cross dissolve occupies the same space:
The problem still persists. For this particular transition, the transition shows a frozen frame from the incoming clip, instead of a portion of the video like mentioned above.
I have also tried deleting the render files for the transition; no luck. Could it be some sort of bug or glitch in the program?

Recapturing Offline Logged Mono Clips as Stereo Clips

Help please!
I captured several of my tapes in mono by mistake and have already edited several sequences. I thought I could easily go back later and recapture them as stereo and they would update themselves in the sequence and relink all subclips from mono to stereo. Well, I tried to do it tonight and it appears the audio field is not changeable. I made the master clip offline recaptured it as stereo but it didn't work. I even tried relogging and capturing a whole new master clip that was identical to the mono version and then relinking this to the subclips but it didn't work.
Why can't use change the logged clip audio settings when the clip is offline!! This seemeingly simple operation will cost me days of extra work if there isn't a solution. Oh Final Cut Guru, show me the way!
Thanks
Adam

Hey Blissfire,
Thanks for bringing this up. I just got on this forum and this one of the key issues that I've wanted to solve. One time this issue set me back two weeks. A lot of sleepless night...
I'd give major props to Shane or Studio X, or another FCP wiz, if they can answer this. Any seasoned user can answer the easy questions, but what separates one top user from another is these meaty questions.
If not, maybe they'd know an easier workaround than Tony suggested.
Hopefully my prodding will get an answer that will make the sun shine again in tech world!

How do I get audio back on single clip that loses audio when imported into Premiere Pro CC?

I've got one clip out of many that for some reason won't play any audio when imported into Premiere Pro. I am new to Premiere Pro so am hoping it's something stupid I've done, but this is a problem with just a single clip exported the same way as all my others, the original audio is loud (not quiet) and none of the FAQ issues seem to apply (ie I haven't muted the audio or anything stupid like that)
The clip was exported from Plural Eyes into a "master" Premiere Pro project where the audio is fine. I exported it as a short MP4 clip and if I play the clip in Windows Media Player the audio is there loud and clear.
But when I import the clip into a fresh Preimiere Pro CC project this clip appears with just the "film strip" icon on the far left in the Timeline panel, unlike other clips which have an icon that shows "film strip" in the background and "audio wave" in the foreground.
I'm hitting so many glitches with the CC editions of Premiere Pro and After Effects which have annoying inconsistencies between them I'm tempted to just go back to Sony Vegas Pro (single program, no hassle) but hoping most of these issues are down to "newbie incompetence". Very hard to understand why this one clip out of many should be giving me this specific problem though. Any ideas?

I'm getting so many weird results. Most go away by simply closing the project and re-opening and I only have 6GB memory but even so, I'm disappointed by what I thought was supposed to be more "world class" video editing software than Sony Vegas Pro which I found to be a lot more stable. Also struggling with differences between Premiere and After Effects. Every time I want to do something in Pro I seem to need to go to After Effects and vice-versa. After Effects lets me do more of what I could "just do" in Vegas Pro timeline, but it's hideous for lining up audio and having to render anything in RAM to even get a clue as to what a change has done. Need to add Audition to the long list as well I suspect. Fun times!

How do I separate audio channels to edit them seperatly ... they are both in the same clip when I record from two diffrent mics on two diffrent channels

I do not see a way to separate audio channels to edit them separately in Premiere Elements (any version).
Premiere Elements does have audio effects including Balance, Fill Right/Fill Left, and Swap channels, but that is not what you are seeking.
I would refer you to an audio editor such as the free Audacity for what you want to do.
Splitting and Joining Stereo Tracks - Audacity Manual
I am not sure if this is close to what you seek
https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/883383
But, the opportunity seems to be in Premiere Pro, not Premiere Elements
Please review and consider and then let me your thinking on the matter relating to your Premiere Elements 12 (what operating system).
Thanks.

Missing audio track when importing video into Premiere Pro CS3

When I import my M2TS video into the editor there is no audio when viewed in the source. There is also no audio track when I drag a clip down to the timeline. Any fix for this?

I have the same problem with M2TS files in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. The audio track is there - Adobe Premiere just doesn't recognize it. If you open the same clip in Nero Showtime, Corel Ulead VideoStudio, etc., the audio will be there. The audio is probably multiplexed.
I have been recording High Definition TV using the Hauppauge HD PVR 1212. About 15-20 % of the M2TS files recorded will be seen as video only clips by Adobe Premiere. The remaining clips will be conformed by Premiere and you will have a Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track. If you convert the video only clips to .MP4 and then re-import them into Premiere you will then have the Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track back and you're good to go.
I use either Xilisoft or Arcsoft media converters to change to .MP4 files. If you use Arcsoft you will have to render the clip. The files converted by Xilisoft don't have to be rendered for playback.

How to acess audio on a video clip... it plays when clicked on seperately,but not in movie.

I have created a movie. It will not play the audio, but when I expand the view to expert, the audio shows up.. it just does not play. It does play the narration added to the pictures in the clip... What can I do. Yes, the volume on the computer is on and turned up.

joflobird
What version Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system? Premiere Elements 12/12.1 by any chance?
In your project, did you have audio on the numbered audio track and lost the sound for that once you added the narration to the project,
using the project Narration Tool? If 12, that is a known issue. Please refer to
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Audio Losses After Narration Addition
Please determine if the above applies to your situation. And, then we will decide what next.
Thanks.

How can I burn more than 1 movie to a DVD when there is room on the disc for it. Premiere wants to overwrite once 1 movie is burned to the disc

How can I burn more than 1 movie onto a DVD? Once 1 movie is burned successfully to the disc, I try to burn another movie and Premiere wants to overwrite the first movie. One movie is 1.2 GB, second is 2.3; so there is room on a 4.7 GB DVD-RW.

susang
What you report is what it is.
Each burn to of Timeline content to DVD-VIDEO format on DVD disc results in the disc containing one OpenDVD Folder and one VIDEO_TS Folder.
Only one VIDEO_TS Folder can be put on a DVD-VIDEO disc even when Premiere Elements is not involved. I have seen that written about online, and I have
never found a way to overcome what seems to be basic behavior description of DVD-VIDEO..
Premiere Elements will allow you to write to a disc with content already on it, but only after you give the OK for erasing the disc content before going ahead
with the burn to.
If you have several movies, one possibility is to build a Timeline with the movies, use stop markers, and setup disc menus according so that the viewer
can selectively watch the movies. More on that later if wanted.
Any questions or need clarification, please ask.
Thank you.

I have a band video that I want to edit. In iMove 09, I could clip to crop or add a transition or both without altering the audio. In iMovie 11, the audio lower or drops out when I clip for and use a transtion. Is there a setting to preven this?

Thanks for that info! Even in my time answering questions on iMovie Discussion Group, I never had a good understanding of when and how Optimize Movie came into play. I always would import as Optimized and Large Size and figured that was good enough. But knowing you got much, much more flexibility doing it the way you describe gives me a much better understanding of the different routes you can take into the Event Library.

How can i fix a clip when the video and audio are not matching up?

How can i fix a clip when the video and audio are not matching up? I imported the video from a junkdrive in a .VOB format and concerted to a .mov the videos were filmed on a miniDVD recorder.

I would try detaching the audio and the dragging the audio to the left or right until it lines up.
