Premiere CC Blocking audio track when editing again after close

Dear fellows,
I was working with premiere cc fine. But at certain point I cant add the audio track of a video file as the audio track is blocked, so I end up with a video in the timeline but with no audio.
I copiepasted over a new sequence and worked ok again, but after saving and closing when I open de file again the audio track is againg blocked.
Any ideas about what causes the issue?
Thanks and regards

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

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.

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.

Losing Audio Tracks When importing from 5.1 to 3

I was capturing video on one of the new intel imacs in FCP 5.1. Afterwards I'm importing the files into a project on my powerbook g4 with FCP 3. For some reason I only get 1 audio track when I import the files.
The files on my imac all say 1V and 2A and have the two separate audio tracks. But when I import them on my laptop I get only 1V and 1A. I've tried everything I can think of and changed all the settings I can but can't figure this one out. Can anybody help me?

This has been posted by others in the past, there seems to be changes in FCP 5 and/or QuickTime that make its media not fully-readable by earlier revs of FCP.
I would recapture in FCP 3.

Please help. My audio track is too low after exporting movie made with Premiere Pro to YouTube.

Hello. My crew and I recently completed post-production on an independent film. We used Adobe Premiere Pro 5.0 for video and audio editing. We had a very low budget for production, so we didn't have the best audio equipment to record sound with. So in editing, we had to do quite a bit of sound mixing to minimize background/ambient noise and interferences/distortions caused by large electrical appliances in some indoor scenes, such as taverns and cafes. We managed to clean up the audio, and the audio ultimately sounded great. However, when we exported the film to YouTube, the entire audio track sounded low. To hear the film at an adequate level on YouTube, the volume has to be turned all the way up. I'm wondering what can be done to export the film to YouTube and maintain strong, optimal audio volume/quality. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and take care.

As Jeff of Safeharbor noted, you really need to check the audio meters in Prpro with your "final" project. I found that I could have a sound level that played fine on my computer, but ... on exporting to a DVD ... was way low and required a very high setting on any other computer or a tv to be able to hear. I hadn't actually looked at the audio meters. On checking them ... yeah, the peak was down about -18, the main content of the talking-heads was below that. After raising it with PrPro's audio tools, the sound was fine.
I'd bet your sound is showing low on the meters ...

Different Audio Tracks when you import DVD VOB Files

I imported some vob files from a dvd and it only gives me the first audio track in premiere but i need the 2nd audio track. How do i tell premiere i only want the 2nd track?

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
Colin Brougham wrote:
... would like to know for the future how to resolve this issue.
If there is no way to get the 2nd audio track then i would consider that to be a bug that hopefully Adobe can fix in next patch.
Ideally when you import a vob fileset premiere should automatically drop all the audio tracks into the timeline, not just the first one.
Don't use a DVD, plain and simple. The fact that we can edit this stuff at all is just a handy shortcut that works most of the time. I suspect that, given the nature of the material and the far greater precedence for native editing of professional camera sources, this is about as good as its going to get. You can certainly report it as a bug (which its not) or request it as a feature, but I sincerely doubt that this would be given a great deal of priority.
I'm not saying this just to be a jerky naysayer: the fact is that there is limited time and resources that go into development of each point release and each full version, and the things that benefit the most people have the greater likelihood of being fixed or included. I'd be surprised if even 1% of Premiere users needed this functionality. Believe me--I've wanted dozens of things that I know won't ever make it into the program, simply because they won't benefit many people. But make a feature request and see what happens...
wow?? what a terrible, mean, and unnecessary negative response? "jerky naysayer" ?? never heard that term, but it sounds accurate.
Thats like walking up to someone and saying "i dont mean to be cruel, but your fat and ugly"
anyways, not sure what your point is, other than you have a crystal ball that tells you less than 1% of the premiere users in the world ever need to grab a b-roll from a dvd and i think i could find plenty of people who would disagree with you. I have been doing digital video editing for 20 years and been using premiere for about 15 years now i think since it first came out. I work at a tv station with lots of other video editors and we have all needed to pull a clips off dvd's many times in our lives. Im sorry that i dont have an XDCAM HD video tape of the first moon launch to capture, so for now i have to grab a clip from a dvd.
Thanks for your attempted "help" but i'd rather you not hiijack my thread by negating my questions and requests. My company has purchased probably over a million dollars in adobe software licenses over the years and there is nothing wrong with my opinions and requests.
thanks

Premiere pro: multiple audio tracks in a single take. (Workflow for audio mixing outside premiere)

Hi I am an editor from Finland.
I need to sync multiple audio tracks (like 2 stereo and 4 mono) to different takes before i start to edit. You see, after the editing I will create an OMF file for the sound editor who needs all the audio tracks to work with. I have noticed however by just nesting (puttin video and audio clips in a single sequence) the resulting sequence placed on in the main sequence is flattened into stereo (not multichannel). You see my problem here? I am surprised, because i have always taught that this is a very normal workflow and so far i haven't found a single tutorial or a guide for this problem.
Just to make sure we're on the same page: I know how to sync video and audio, just not so that the 6different audio tracks in all my 120 different takes that i edit into a single sequence will have the 6different audio tracks in the audio post production (which is done in protools, maybe...)
Oh yeah, Premiere Pro CS5

Hi!
This is the case when i get a master clip with all the audio tracks in it. I however got separate files, a bunch of different video files (with stereo track), for every take a boom mic audio track, and a few tracks for all the microphones on the actors. Now after i import these into premiere, how will i proceed so that after i have synced all the audioclips to all the video clips (by nesting?) I will still have all the audio clips intact in the OMF file I will create.
Last time i created omf, all the clips had turned into stereo because of nesting. Is the only way to avoid this by joining the video and audio clips into multichannel audio clips with another program before importing into premiere?
I am not very good at explaining... Problem: I get a video and 10 audio tracks. I join them by putting them into a sequence. I repeat this about a hundred times (for every take). Now i start to edit. I create the main sequence in which i clip pieces from all the hundred takes. In the main sequence the clips have only one stereo track. When the movie is finished I create an OMF for the sound guy. The sound guy asks me why are there only 2 tracks per clip? Where are all the 10 separate audio tracks?

Missing audio tracks when importing mp4 movie clip into adobe premier trial

No audio tracks when sending from Final Cut?

Hi,
I'm working with a 90 minute edited sequence in final cut that I've nested in another sequence to create a continuous video with a stereo audio track. When I send it to soundtrack (multitrack project) for mixing, the video is there but the audio tracks are blank.
Does any one know why this is happening or have suggestions as to what I might do differently?
Thanks in advance.

I ended up exporting the sequence inside my nested sequence and that worked as it should.
But all of my audio tracks were given their own track in Soundtrack which wasn't what I wanted. Finally I exported my nested sequence "for soundtrack" and applied the effects and filters to the resulting file's audio tracks and saved it. I then imported the file back into FCP, put it in a sequence and made any adjustments that I needed before exporting it with compressor.
I don't know if this applies to what you need to do but I hope it's helpful.

Is it possible to retain multiple audio tracks when exporting?

While ripping my DVD collection, I've wanted to add a purchased RiffTrax (see www.riftrax.com) to the movie as another audio track. I've been successful, but it took the following steps:
1. Encode the movie using Handbrake, open the resulting m4v file in Quicktime Pro
2. Also in Quicktime Pro, open the Rifftrax aac file I created and add it as another audio track in the m4v
3. Save the m4v as a Quicktime mov file
4. Use Handbrake again to encode the mov file into an m4v file, including my added audio track
The reason I have to do step 4 is because if I were to export an m4v file directly from Quicktime Pro, it would compress all of the audio tracks into a single audio track. It would save a lot of time if Quicktime could export multiple audio tracks, at least when exporting to formats that can handle them. Does anyone know if this is possible?
BTW, if anyone wants more details into how I create the RiffTrax aac, just ask.
- Jake

I've answered my own question, it was a lot easier than I thought. After the first encoding by Handbrake, there's really no difference between calling it a mov file or m4v file. I can change the file extension at will and there's no need to do an export that mashes the audio tracks. It's only AppleTV that needs to see the m4v file extension, Quicktime and iTunes doesn't seem to care one way or the other.
Thanks for letting me think out loud.

Premiere corrupted the audio track of XDCAM EX

I am very new to Premiere. I received a file from a friend who wants me to convert the video to NTSC DV widescreen. I imported the MP4 file and added it to the timeline. I was able to convert fine with exception to an aspect ratio issue. So, I decided to try again. Much to my surprise I find the audio track is corrupt. The first part of the track is fine except with occassional pops & cracks, then after about 10 minutes the entire audio track turns to peaked white noise? I checked the modify date of the source file and sure enough it has changed. I did not tell Premiere to overwrite anything and thought it woudl not alter source files. How can this be? What can I do?
Thanks.

Thank you all for your help. What I ended up doing was create a new project and import the entire BPAV directory. However, after conforming, there was still one clip's audio track that was corrupt. So, I decided to create yet another project and inport only the single troubled clip. After conforming the audio track was still corrupt. I did look at the audio tracks closely and they were corrupt in the same place. (eg. the beginning of the track was fine and then suddenly at a set point the track would go bad). I know it is not a bad file because Sony's player plays it fine. So, I did some checking and found the "Media Cache Files" folder. I blew the contents away, recreated another new project and imported the troubled clip. After conforming I find the audio in Premiere is just fine. The media cache files were taking up a lot of space but had not nearly filled the drive. What ever it was I'm glad there is a forum like this to help us new users.
Thanks again,

Premiere Pro CS2 - Audio track prevents sequence play in program monitor

My sequence consists of 1 Video Track, and 2 Audio Tracks. The "Video 1" and "Audio 1" tracks in the sequence consists of subclips taken from a master clip avi in the Project Panel captured from my video camera, and "Audio 2" in the sequence are MP3's that have been imported into the Project Panel. The sequence plays fine and I'm able to make edits as long as the "Audio 1" track of the captured avi is disabled, and with "Audio 2" enabled. But when the "Audio 1" track is enabled, the sequence will not play in the program monitor, and the entire program freezes up until I disable the "Audio 1" track, or otherwise the program just crashes.
I've Googled my brains out today and yesterday, and I've reviewed all the program settings to the best of my knowledge. I'm trying to produce a video that allows me to mix between the "Audio 1" track and the "Audio 2" track, but can't figure out why the "Audio 1" track prevents the sequence from playing in the Program Monitor.
My soundcard is Creative SB Audigy 2, on Win XP. Can someone please help me understand what I'm overlooking?

Thanks Hunt, this was some solid information, especially the link. I believe I've figured out the problem though... and it was ME!
I didn't want to do it, but sometimes when you have a stubborn problem, it's best to just start all over from the beginning. It turns out that what I thought was a developing masterpiece, was in reality only a HOT MESS, lol.
The problem seemed to be in the way I created the subclips, in regards to whether the video and/or audio was selected, with respect to the in & out points, and with how those subclips were placed into the Timeline. The problem was definitely in those subclips (...it's like the Timeline didn't know what to do with them). Once I went back, checked the source avi and master clips to verify they were intact, and being more careful in how I added the new clips into the Timeline, the audio from the imported video AND from the MP3's are now playing just fine in harmony, and I'm able to edit the sequence in the Program Monitor and with the Audio Mixer (...just as I suspected I was supposed to be able to do).
Funny how when you think there's a major problem, it just turns out that the program was only doing what you were telling it to do, lol. Thanks so much for stepping up and helping out Hunt. It's so frustrating sitting by the computer, hoping someone will come to the rescue. Your response was exactly the gentle guidance I needed. Much appreciated!

Capturing only 1 audio track when there are 2 audio tracks

Has this happened to anybody ?
I had to fiddle with the capture settings in Final Cut to accommodate for progressive HDV video. When I changed it back to my normal interlaced HDV video, I had trouble with the sound tracks. (I have tried changing all the settings in the HDV 50i possibilities. I'm in europe)
I only get one sound track in stead of two (but I can hear both sound tracks when I capture).
If I get 2 sound tracks, They aren't imported into the project. If I try to import them without restarting, final cut doesn't recognize them.
But recently, no matter what I do (changing settings) I only get 1 audio track.
Ideas ?
Thanks !

I would like to add to this thread. I have this same issue, it's extraordinarily frustrating, and I'm not finding any useful information online. This is a serious bug and hopefully it can be addressed.
FCP 7.0.2
MacPro 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
16 GB RAM
Mac OS 10.6.4
I'm trying to capture HDV 1080i footage shot on a Sony V1U, using a Sony HDV deck that I've used hundreds of times without running into this issue. The footage has two audio tracks -- of this I am absolutely 100% certain -- yet when batch importing clips, Final Cut captures only 1 track. This happens whether or not I have it set to capture a stereo pair or two mono tracks.
Again, there is no issue with the tape or the audio. It's there. I can sit and watch the preview meters in the FCP clip settings tab as I play it, and both channels register and display levels independently. Final Cut is capturing only one of them. For the life of me I can't figure out why.
I have trashed preferences. Restarted. Rebooted. Tried multiple Easy Setups. I still get only one track of audio when batch capturing. Amazingly, if I Capture Now from the exact same tape, I get two channels of audio. I have a project with hundreds of clips already logged - I need to batch capture them.
If anyone has insight into this bug, please help. Thanks!
