Premiere CS6 Audio slow update Fixed

I refer to this thread..
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4912885#4912885
After a recent meeting with filming collegues, I was asked if i knew a solution to this problem. Basically the user didnt have this problem in Premiere CS3 but does now have it in CS6 and coincidentally I have had this problem since installing CS6. I setup a plan for Adobe CC but as the problem was still prevalent in CS7 (CC) I cancelled my plan.
Problem
Basically when you scale the timeline to zoom in and edit, it takes ages for the audio waveform to reappear/rebuild in the audio timeline window. I have to wait for sometime 10-15 secs every time i scale the timeline which is a preverbial pain in the A@@.
I read the forums and saw others having the same problem, adobe advice was get the latest drivers they didnt have the problem which was a bit dismisive. I got the latest video card drivers and no fix.
It dawned on me this evening that I have tailored by windows to suit my editing needs and my timeline window has an audio level window at the end of it. I decided to move the timeline to occupy the complete bottom of the screen, ergo no windows left and right and BINGO immediate (well nearly) audio waveform update quickly in the timeline window when I scale the timeline.
So it seems the problem lies with the coding of scaling windows NOT drivers hence a fix needed by adobe for CS6 and cs7/CC, but at least we have a workaround!.
Hope this helps anyone 8)

Yes, my 15" MacBook Pro does have the Nvidia 650M processor as well. Do I need to change any settings on my laptop or in Premiere for it to use this processor, or does it do it automatically?
Would changing my settings from Mercury Playback Engine GPU Accelorator (Open CL) to Mercury Playback Engine (software only) help at all?

Premiere CS6 Audio-Sync Late

I downloaded and installed Adobe Production Premium CS6 TRIAL on two separate PCs and the issue persists on both.
Basically after I encode with video in WMV v7 codec the audio is in sync at the beginning but drifts over the course of the movie and by the end (100 minutes later) it is late by 3-4 seconds.
The video and audio are perfectly in sync in the Premiere video monitor, just not after export.
Both PCs are fairly new, one 9 months old and the other 2 yrs old, plenty of RAM, Windows 7 Professional, etc. The hardware/software does not seem to be the reason anyhow since CS5.5 encodes it just fine, all in sync.
The source video is a h264 movie, 720x486 1Mbps. I have a timeline where I match that to a French MP3 audio and export it to the following video/audio specs. The MP3 portion makes no difference since even just exporting the h264 by itself to the codec specs below will result in the original English audio track being late. Even using a different source format makes no difference, same late audio results.
I tried exporting both directly and from Adobe Media Encoder, same result (as I would have expected).
The export format is this:
Video:
Windows Media Video Version 7
720x486 Progressive
CBR, 500kbps
50% quality
1 second keyframes
5 seconds buffer
Audio:
Windows Media Audio 9.2
128kbps Stereo 48kHz
The same exact timeline exported using Premiere CS5.5 work just fine, as I mentioned earlier.
I tried exporting another timeline to QuickTime Animation (it just happened to be the codec we used for that high-res project) and that is in sync.
At this point I am at a loss since the sync issue can't be due to the fact that this is the TRIAL version, it would make no sense since the WMV codec is free.
I think this is clearly a bug. What do you think? Any help is appreciated.

I had a similar problem with cs6 encoding wmv filess with audio out of synch. ALSO the video looks wicked interlaced, or something. not sure of the technical term for what I am seeing but there are noticable horizontal lines especially noticable when the image pans. since i edited this in cs6 i couldnt open it in cs 5 so i had to export it as a .mpeg and open THAT in 5 and then recode it to a wmv. which amazingly enough looks just fine (for a wmv). I am about to migrate all this to a new computer with much more RAM , a i7 3930 with a SSD and a gtx570, so I will wait and see how it performs over there.

Premiere CS6 Audio Question

I currently have Premiere CS5 and one of my biggest pet peeves is dropping and modifying audio transitions. From my Final Cut Pro days I could easily link multiple audio tracks, and when adding or modifying a transition to one it did it to the rest of the linked tracks. I can't do that in CS5, and have to manually add transitions and change their duration separately. This really adds a lot of time to my workflow. Does anyone know if this has been resolved in CS6?

Don't know, probably almost no one does, but the main reason that FCP used to let you do that is because FCP required you to break out your channels in the first place. Adobe doesn't require that (in fact, you can combine them to keep things simple).
You can double click transitions in CS6 but making adjustments is on a per-transition basis.

Premiere cs6 audio balance help

I'm trying to finish a multi-camera show, and the house feed I'm using as the best source shows up in the side vu meter with the left channel markedly lower in level than the right....for the life of me I can't find any source helps on how or even if I can adjust the balance in the mult-camera timeline...and I'm hesitant to be making a sub track for fear of sync problems......any input anyone?

Why does Adobe Premiere CS6 slow playback after importing some audio?

Adobe Premiere CS6.0 v6.0.2
Mac Pro:
1, 4 core - 3.2ghz CPU
16gb ram (4 sticks of 4gb @ 1066 MHz)
1 Tb dive with OS/Apps on
2Tb 7200 RPM media drive
ATI Radeon HD 5770
Sequence:
30Fps
1920x1080
Media:
mostly .MFX files from a Canon XF100 however these clips commonly play nice with Premiere.
Issue:
After importing some audio clips (.wav/.mp3, possibly other extensions) to the timeline on occasion the video playback will become choppy and the audio will slow down 3% creating any voices in the video to become deeper and slows down. Choppy video playback as well. The problem is very annoying but it can be temporarily fixed with a computer restart but it will come back.
Things to note:
Creating a rendered ID (Exporting the movie out to a .mov) the slowed choppy video does not appear in the final movie.
Temp. Solution:
The only way I can fix this problem is by restarting the computer. Simply restarting Adobe Premiere and closing any non-essential applications does not fix the problem.
Any ideas on how to fix this are much apperciated.

Try converting your MP3 to AIFF ,QT or something else Macs like. See if that helps.

Dragging clips to bins is very slow in Premiere CS6

I just upgraded to Premiere CS6 from CS 5.5 (no thank you, CC) and have problems with very slow speed when dragging clips from one bin to another in the Project panel. Here are the specifics:
I have about 1500 clips in a bin that I'm sorting through in the Project panel, putting clips into other bins as I classify them. If I have the 1500 clips sorted by the Name field, there's no delay as I move a clip or clips from the big bin to one of the smaller bins. If, however, I sort the 1500 clips by Media File Path in the Project panel (which puts the clips in chronological order because the file names reflect date and time), then doing the same work results in an 8-second delay every time I try to move a clip between bins.
I get the 8-second delay each and every time I drag a clip between bins. It occurs whether I select a single clip to drag or drag multiple clips. As soon as I sort in the panel by Name field instead of the Media File Path field, dragging has no delay.
I have no such trouble with delays in CS5.5, so I'm at a loss. I need to have the bin sorted by Media File Path, because I need them in chronological order as I evaluate them. But an 8-second delay each time I move a clip bogs me down so much it's impractical to get any sorting done.
I suspect this is a bug. I've upgraded to CS6.05, but that didn't fix it. Does anyone have a workaround?
Thanks,
Mike Boom

A good suggestion. I did try that earlier, but alas, no luck.
Sorting works across all bins in the Project panel, so once you sort on the Media File Path, drags are slow from all bins, even if you segment into bins as small as two clips.
Premiere is doing something bad with sorts after CS5.5. Looks like Adobe fell down on regression testing for the updated version. Then again, it's got to be hard to regression test as many features as Premiere has.

Adobe premiere cs6 suddenly EXTREMELY slow and CPU intensive

Hi everyone,
I'm editing candon 5d mk III footage (h.264 files) on my late 2011 MacBook pro. Here are the specs..
240 gig SanDisk SSD harddrive (190 gigs free)
500 Gig (250 gigs free)
8 gigs ram
2.4 ghz i5 processor
Intel HD graphics 3000 graphics card
I'm a wedding videographer and I am currently closing my last edits of the season. I have edited 20+ 45 minute videos on Adobe Premiere CS6 and have had absolutely no issues at all. I enjoy working on premiere so much that I've been trying to get my videographer friends to give a shot and simplify their workflows.
Upon starting my second to last edit (same process as the other 18 videos I've done this season, organizing the footage within it's respective folder, loading it into premiere with the couples' choice in music and opening 4-5 new sequences based on the events of the day) I noticed that I was having a lot of trouble importing folders into my media bin. I had to import all of the footage unorganized because loading the folders "Preperation, Ceremony, Photos, Reception" with the footage within them would cause premiere to freeze and become unrepsonsive. So, finding no solution I added all the footage in no particular fashion. Just one large unorganized group. Then, while organizing the files into bins, I noticed even the smallest move would take several minutes to complete. Because I was working directly off of my hard drive I figured these kinds of delays would eventually catch up to me, so I moved all of my files to my HDD and decided to work on them there. The project itself continued to be extremely slow and started crashing regularly (especially when applying audio effects). After a few hours, I stopped being able to play 1080p video at all. It would jam and stutter so often it become unuseable. 720p video was the next to go along with my ability to render anything in less than 30 minutes - 1 hour. At last attempt to use premiere I was getting an "Unable to compile movie - Unknown Error" message when trying to render alpha channel things (lower third titles and things of the nature), my ability to change the resolution of the playback had disappeared (Going from full, 1/2 and 1/4 did nothing, it just remained at full quality) and finally doing anything in premiere caused it to use 300% of my CPU (based off of my Activity Monitors metering).
Does anybody have any clue as to what could be happening to my machine/program? I have a yearly subscription to adobe's creative cloud service if that helps. Oh and I've tried moving my media cache's from my HDD to my SDD with little or no results. Don't know if that helps.
Thank you to anyone who helps in advance. What I believe to be clean installs aren't doing anything so I'm hoping somebody can give me a hand.

Sounds to me like specific media is dragging the Mac to a halt. (300%, really Apple? Isn't that like saying that my car can go up to 90mph, but last night I drove it at 300% speed, 270mph)
Some things to trouble shoot:
Do you have any assets in the project that are loaded directly from strange devices, like a SD card or CD audio? Any dynamic link media that may be problematic?
Is there anything that makes this footage different than footage from successful projects?
Can you work successfully with an old project?
Can you successfully start a new project using different or less media?
Is the 500 GB drive internal or external?
One time I was sent out at from work to troubleshoot a system that would freeze up like yours. The guy was an idiot and rude client that demanded that someone from our facility help him fix his own project. He said that he had been troubleshooting for a day, and then had convinced his organization's IT guy that he needed a way over spec new pc to run Premiere.
His system was fine. Within 3 minutes of checking media in his project, I saw that top track of the problem sequence had a video clip that was set to a speed of .01%, and he had the clip stretched for 24hours in the sequence. His project was supposed to be a 2 minute PSA. All his issues went away after removing the idiotic Day Long slow motion clip. He complained to my boss because I had laughed at him.
I relate that story to illustrate that it could be a weird thing with you media or fx, just as well as a hardware or software issue.
Good Luck

Premiere CS6 slower than 5.5

We have recently migrate from CS 5.5 to CS6. We install Production premium in many PCs. (same hardware we used for 5.5.) and our editors realized that CS6 moves slower than 5.5.
They used to work very fast and sometimes they have to wait to CS6 to react. Sometimes is no more than 4 or 5 seconds but this is very annoying for someone who needs to keep fast rhythm to finish on time.
We have already:
- update drivers for gpu
- updated premiere to 6.05
Systems:
PCs:
- i7
-24GB RAM
-GPU Nvidia GTX 570
-SSD Operating System
-RAID o for video + 2 more HD(1 tera each), for media cache and previews
This issue happends in all our machines.
We work with same kind of footage (mpeg 2) and same hardware and this issue,never happened in CS5.5.
Is there a way to fix it?
Thank you

I know this is always an option, but the idea is to find out if there is a solution for this in CS6, so we can take advantage of the improvements of this version. (CC is not an option for us right now)

Bridge CS6 - extremely slow preview updates and image deleting

1. Updating previews (100%) is very slow.
Bridge CS6 has problems updating the previews of images that get edited.
While creating preview from scratch is rather swift, updating previews takes about six minutes on a MacBook Pro retina with 16Gb RAM.
After one minute the preview gets updated, but then the busy signal in the low left corner just keeps turning and turning for five more minutes.
Why is this happening? Is Bridge still busy with those previews? Why? The preview has already been updated, why those extra five minutes of business?
2. Image deleting is painfully slow.
You type Command + Delete, and nothing is happening for five, six seconds.
Only then the images get deleted.
Has anybody else noticed these two hold-ups?
Edit:
I just went back after writing and editing this post, and Bridge is still busy with the preview update. This is now 15 minutes after the image had been edited. The busy signal in the lower left corner just never turns off again.
It feels like Bridge has also problems working in the background. As soon as you open e.g. a browser to bridge the waiting for bridge, Bridge seems to keep the busy signal rotating, but not actually doing anything until you close the browser again. Which is why I just had a 15 minute wait for an image preview to finally update. The time spent in the browser did not "count".

Hi Noel,
Yes, I did the upgrade, and I did not experience any problems.
Only, the issues above were not fixed in the update.
Are you not experiencing the same issues? (I'm on a Mac).
C. Pfaffenbichler, I was actually looking for a dedicated Bridge forum, but I couldn't see a Bridge icon.

Audio Settings for Premiere CS6

Hi, I currently run a Mac Pro with a 27 inch Apple Monitor with built in camera. The machine is also running Mountain Lion 10.8.5. Could someone give me some clarification as to why the Audio Settings for Premiere CS6 are the way they are?
Example with a Macbook Pro and an iMac when I plug in a headphone I can get the sounds from Premiere pro as well as something from youtube to the headphones. However in the case of the Mac Pro with the Apple Monitor, when the headphones are plugged in the youtube sounds come through but the Premiere sounds go through the monitor. I'm aware of the audio settings but I suspect this is working by design because of the different audio options the Mac Pro have and there is nothing broken about this.
Please advise.
Thank you.

I've always found this a bit annoying.
The intended behaviour is that if you go into Premiere's audio settings, and choose "System Default Input/Output", it should change along with the system (so that the audio comes out wherever YouTube does). In practice, I've found this to be inconsistent in pre-CC versions of Premiere (CC fixes this).
One tip that may be helpful for you in general on a Mac Pro:
1. If you don't already have the volume icon in the menu bar (by the clock), enable that in System Preferences > Sound.
2. Option-click on the icon and you'll get a quick menu of your output options

Premiere CS6 not supporting AVC-G25/50P will there be an update for that?

Good morning Adobe,
I own a Panasonic AJ-PX270 with the P2 content format. I filmed using the AVC-G25/50P format, but that is not supported when i want to import the file structure into my Premiere CS6 it gives me a standard error.
Does anyone know what file format i have to use in my sequence to get this imported?
Will there be an update for this?
I have also asked Panasonic to provide me a solution, haven't heard from them.
Perhaps someone knows how i can convert the files into another file format outside of premiere?
thank you very much!

Yes, it's Java update 16 for Mac OS 10.6 that broke lots of stuff. The 51 comes from it updating Java to 1.6_51. There is an update to the update for 10.7 and up posted, but is there one for 10.6?
UPDATE: Never mind. If you go to the download page for Java update 16, it appears that it has been silently updated. Although there isn't any indication of the fact that it has been fixed, the build number is different (20.51-b01-457 instead of -456).

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 - Audio issues

Hello everyone,
First of all I would like to apologize for my pretty weak english.
I've been using Premiere CS6 for a while and I've never encountered any major issue that couldn't be fix... until now.
I'm working on a project that has several audio tracks, I've just finished my editing and I was going to export an aaf/omf for the audio. However when I loaded my project, everything seemed to be fine, my playback was smooth and working well, all my clips and audio tracks were present in my timeline but there wasn't any audio being played.
The audio meters don't react, I don't have any effects on my audio tracks, there isn't anything muted and when I click on the audio tracks, the audio waveform is in red and is represented as a line.. Here is a screenshot :
When I relink to the original audio tracks, It doesn't fix the issue. The only way to make it works is to re import the tracks, and to drag'n'drop them into my timeline. In some way, i'll have to redo ALL the audio work and that's pretty tiresome.. (especially for the audio that is linked to video..)
The AAF fails (It tells me that It can't export audio clips that are linked to video clips..). OMF export works, it weights 800ish mo but it's empty...
Thanks in advance to anyone that could save my time on this issue.
Have a nice day/night to everyone.
Antoine

AE created text is jumping and not updating for no reason in Premiere CS6

Hello, I think I found a bug. Most likely has something to do with Dynamic Link. I am creating simple moving text in After Effects CS6, and bringing the compoistion over to Premiere CS6 timeline. Occasionally, the text jumps around, or the adjustments I just made to an AE comp don't get updated in Premiere. I moved all of the data from one hard drive to another, thinking it might be the hard drive. But the error still occurs. Makes it rather difficult to work. Any chance you all can solve this one? Kind of driving me crazy since this is clearly a software issue, not a user error. I've been using Adobe software for 10+ years.

This problem continues, Dynamic Link is broken. Useless.
What version of After Effects? Include the minor version number (e.g., After Effects CS5.5 with the 10.5.1 update). 11.0.1.12
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.) up to date
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac". Mac OS 10.6.8
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime". ????
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)? no error message, changes made in AE don't update in Premeiere
What were you doing when the problem occurred? working
Has this ever worked before? yes, in previous versions of AE
What other software are you running? NO!
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed? Of course
Tell us about your computer hardware. Include CPU type and number of processor cores, amount of RAM installed, GPU, number of disk drives, and how any external drives are connected. Not relevant,
Do you have any third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU)? Black Magic Capture Card
Are you using OpenGL features in After Effects? yes
Does the problem only happen with your final output, RAM preview, or both? both
Are you using Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing? Yes

Premiere Pro CS6 - audio plugins not engaging until roughly 1 second into clip

This is a strange issue I've been having with Premiere CS6, running on a Mac Pro. Anytime I add effects to audio, whether it is denoiser, highpass, eq, etc, the effect doesn't engage until roughly 1 second into the clip.
It doesn't matter if I render it or export it. The problem still occurs. In the past my solution has been to drag the audio out past the 1 second threshold, apply the effect, export just the audio, bring it back into premiere, re-align the new audio and export. What a pain!
Definitely a problem I've never had with Avid or Final Cut! Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this problem?!

It's a long-standing bug with certain audio effects. Please do let Adobe know you want it fixed.

In the meantime, you should do that kind of work in Audition instead.
