Premiere Pro Audio Waveform Glitch?

Hello all, hope you guys could help me. I edit a lot with audio waveforms to assist me with synching multiply cameras as well as locating impurities to my audio. Recently (past 3 months) I have been experiencing some problems with viewing my waveforms in the sequence. If my sequence is fully zoomed out everything visually looks ok but as I zoom into the sequence the audio wave forms seems to "shift." so the audio sounds fine but visually the waveforms are all off. So I can't make any cuts according to how it looks which is a problem with me. So please give me your thoughts please.
I am on a windows 7 custom build with 8 GBs Ram
Doesn't matter to format of the footage or the format of the sequence all is equal.

Some of the things that affect these programs aren't "apparently" logical. And clearly a lot of the things that become problems for the user base were NOT logical to become a problem to the design people.So ... it may not work for you, but as noted, for a number of people this actually did fix a problem like unto yours. Hope you simply checked it out on your rig.
I don't know how many times over the last couple years people have had a suggestion which ended up being the proper one but it didn't seem sensible to them so they refused to even try it and we had long threads where they were demanding a "sensible" cure ... and tried all sorts of other things ... and finally gave up and tried that utterly stupid suggestion that had been the first one and clearly had NO connection whatever with their problem ... and ... um ... amazingly, it worked.
Of course, some of them were nice but politely refused ... and some were a bit less than polite. Very frustrating as a volunteer to be attempting to help someone who isn't willing to try the suggestions nor even bothers to be neutral let alone polite.

Adobe Premiere Pro audio distortion

Hi,
I have Adobe Premiere CS2 and some audio distortion problems. I captured a footage from my Sony DV Digital-8 camcorder. It's a standard DV footage with 16-bit PCM audio. When audio is nearly-peaking (not peaking), it gets distorted in Premiere, but doesn't in other applications (VirtualDub, Media Player Classic, Windows Media Player, mplayer). I'm sure this is because an internal conversion (called conforming) from 16-bit PCM to 32-bit floating point PCM. Project Setting of the Audio Track is 48000Hz 32bit floating point - Stereo for a DV project, despites DV standard supports 16 or 12 bit Audio tracks. In user manual they write the following:
"For maximum editing performance and audio quality, Adobe Premiere Pro processes each audio channel, including audio channels in video clips, as 32-bit floating-point data at the project’s sample rate. To do this it must conform certain types of audio to match the 32-bit format and the project sample rate."
Well, if I'm a professional video editor, I can (and have the right to) decide whether which sample rate and bit-depth are the best for me, but they don't let me set audio other than the default, there is no option like bit-depth available not even when creating a NEW project. No problem if Adobe's genius developers thought 32-bit mixing provides much more quality, but if they forget to implement 16-bit to 32-bit internal conversion correctly, please let me decide to use at least a fallback method.
Thanks for your help

Just looking at the waveform confirmed my initial reaction: Way, way
oversteered. Everything is clipped and your best approach is to
reshoot. That some players can handle this seriously mistreated audio
may be caused by audio limiters. They should, otherwise you would blow
up your speakers.
Well, you can say that and if this sample was a music maximized with compressors, it would distort too. Sony Digital-8 camcorder has an internal limiter, so only soft-peaking can occur, but no serious distortion. Media Players (eg. mplayer) don't have limiters unless you specify an external limiter filter. I've already told this isn't the clip you want me to re-shoot. This is a sample I created to show you the problem. I sent this to one of my friends who has Ulead MediaStudio Pro 7.0. It doesn't distort there either. Have you tried loading it to an audio editor like Audacity or Adobe Audition? You can see no hard-peaking or distortion if you zoom in the waveform.
Waveform at 00:00:00:21. No distortion, only high levels can be seen on this waveform.
Waveform after 00:00:00:21. Soft peaking in right (bottom) channel.
I'd appreciate if someone took this seriously instead of repeating "reshoot it" and "high levels".

Premiere Pro audio only editing

I have seen some threads on this but they do not completely answer my question and are already marked answer.
I want to edit out small segments of audio only. There is no sound track or anything. For example I want to remove a phone ringing. I know how to unlink and razor the audio althoug I can only do it if I more the audio to its own location on the timeline. My main issue is that the razor does not seem to work if I spin down the waveform display. I am using the waveform to find my exact edit point then spin up the display and cut. Seems strange, am I missing something. on a mac Premiere 5.1

Premiere Pro audio sync issues with 48khz audio on video file and 44.1khz audio on external audio

So, I recorded video and audio on my Canon 5D Mark II at 1080p, 23.976 fps, and 48khz, 16-bit Stereo audio. And I used a Zoom H4 to record an mp3 audio file at 44.1khz Compressed. When trying to sync the audio in Premiere Pro CC, the audio slowly loses sync over time. I already tried to convert the 44.1khz mp3 file to 48khz in Adobe Audition. But that didn't fix the problem. Any ideas?

There's always time-stretch changes to the audio file with "keep pitch unchanged" checked, I suppose. Mind you, I've heard of people doing it but haven't done it myself. There's other possible options I'm sure. There's been quite a few threads here on time-sync issues over time.

Prelude to Premiere Pro audio sync?

I am editing my first feature length film in Adobe Premiere Pro CC. I would like to utilize Prelude, however I am a bit confused as to when and how to sync my external audio with my video. Should I first use Prelude, make subclips, make a rough cut and then ingest into premiere and sync. But how will my audio be able to sync subclips without my clapper board input? Any suggestions?

Hi Jenny,
Firstly, I have really enjoyed using Adobe CC this year, very happy with my choice to migrate from Avid to CC.
Just a bit of constructive criticism for the prelude team on this point-
The way I have interpreted it, Prelude is a tool to ingest, log and prepare footage for Premiere, and there is a bit of a gap when it comes to synching seperate audio and working with multicam clips.
For singlecam clips, the program works fine for the most part- but on most professional level productions, there will be either; a) External audio recorded, or b) Multiple synched camera angles.
If the suggested workflow for working with seperate audio is to go to premiere first and then export to prelude, I think that is a bit of a backwards step if prelude is supposed to be the 'prepping' program.
And as for multicam workflow, I don't think Prelude is capable of working there either.
I have a multicam interview, 30 mins long, and I want to log all the key dialouge in prelude- I can do one of the angles, sure, but is it posible for me to then transfer that metadata to a multicam sequence in Premiere?

Premiere pro cc2014 waveform wrong after audition

"edit clip in audition" - adjust time (eg slow down) and save
on return to premiere image of waveform does not correspond to the audio.
Have to restart premiere to fix it.
Can anyone else confirm this so I can report it as a bug?

Premiere Pro CC update glitch

Hey all -
Any Adobe Creative Cloud users having any issues updating Premiere Pro?
I've tried over and over, but still get the same error: "Update Failed. Unable to extract the downloaded files. Press Retry to download again. (U441l210)"
All the other ACC apps update just fine.

Just came on here to post about the buzzing transitions, glad to see it's been fixed already!
Another thing though I don't see mentioned, since moving to 7.2 I find audio playblack is out of sync while editing, and in some clips significantly more noticeably than others. This only happens during playback, if I pause and scrub manually, the audio is perfectly in sync. This actually messed up a project for a client. I thought the audio off the camera was out of sync in one segment so I bumped it a few frames before exporting. Didn't check it after of course and sent him the file, then got a reply back that it was out of sync in that spot. Check the exported video and sure enough, he was right. Check it again in project but it looks in sync. So I bump the audio back in the timeline so that it LOOKS out of sync again during playback, but the new exported video is perfectly in sync!
Editing a TV show now with hundreds of clips and it's maddening with some looking fine, some looking a little off, and some looking completely off and having to manually scrub to check and be sure along the way.
Hopefully this is also fixed in this update..will see tomorrow.

Premiere Pro audio problem and crash

Yesterday I got an error multiple times which then led to PP crashing.
I imported an audio track, placed it in my time line, and when i went to adjust gain is when it would freeze/error/crash.
The error i got was:
[/Volumes/BuildDisk/builds/MightySilt/shared/adobe/MediaCore/ASL/Foundation/Make/Mac/../.. /Src/Mac/MacFile.cpp-1104]

In AME, please go to Preferences>General and disable the Import Sequences Natively option. Then export the sequence from Premiere Pro to AME and see if the problem persists.
If this change resolves the issue, then we'll be interested in getting a copy of the project, if possible, to test with.

Premiere Pro CC 2014: Glitched screens?

I'm trying to make a stop motion video for a class at school and my view screens keep glitching. They'll look normal for about a half second - barely long enough to see a photo - then go back to these weird glitchy "images"
I'm wondering if this is because I updated the software a few days ago and it's a bug, but it only started happening today

Premiere Pro CC Video Glitching and Pixels Jumping About

Hello!
I just started using Adobe Premiere Pro CC and whilst I was editing a video for my minecraft video (first time using this program) the video started to glitch!
When I run the original file it comes out perfectly fine! I used my old editor and it works fine too!
But I exported it anyways as I wanted to see if this problem persists after exporting and the same problem happens.
Please could you help me! Thanks!

Despite one of the touted benfits of Cloud Cuckoo being the rapid implementation of innovations, you will have to wait until June the 17 for this particular feature, as the true CC is not released until then.
I should be very interested to know, in a round figure, the exact number of instant innovations those who subscribed to the initial offering of Premiere via CC have received during the past year. Sarbanes-Oxley no longer provides a fig-leaf!

Premiere Pro Audio Slipping with AJA Kona LHI

I have noticed that when I run Premiere Pro CC (Latest updates) My audio playing back on the Kona and on the desktop will progressively slip out of sync when my Kona LHI card is enabled through the video output options. The sync issue goes away when the card is unchecked. The initial release of PRCC did not have this problem, but when the updates were issued soon after, the slipping issue cropped up. Anybody have these problems? Any suggestions?

I realize this is a year old but was this issue resolved?
For what its worth I've had/have similar problems with Premiere Pro CC and the AJA Kona LHi card. Just call AJA support 1-530-271-3190 and speak to their tech support gurus. Their folks are awesome. I just tell them what I'm trying to do and they will stay on the line and help until you can get things running again. No fees for customer support, nothing to register for... just call them and ask for help and they will!
I wish more companies operated this way.

Premiere Pro: Audio Keyframes don't work with reversed Audio?!

Hello everybody.
Lately I reversed some Footage and its Audio with Premiere Pro (CC 2014), but when I then tried to keyframe the audiolevel for a fade in, Premiere showed a red horizontal line on the audio clip (between left and right channel) that directly disappeared after it auto-rendered the clip. Next, the keyframes visually appeared as placed, but the audio played was untouched! I tried to keyframe some unreversed audio in the same sequence and this did work. Does it have to do with the reversed audio? And will it get fixed in a future update???
Thanks in forward,
Niko

Try nesting the clip and adding the keyframes to the nest.

Premiere Pro Audio unsynchron zum Video

Moin!
Ich habe leider ein Problem meine aufgenommenen Videos mit Premiere Pro ordentlich zu schneiden.
Ich nehme Videos mit Avermedia RECentral auf. Meistens ist das Gameplay aus Computerspielen.
Das Programm erstellt mir fertige .mp4 Videos mit folgenden Daten:
Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 1920x1080 30fps 44676kbps [Video]
Audio: AAC 48000Hz stereo 375kbps [Audio]
Die Dateien werden oft recht groß. Da ist alles zwischen 2 und 50Gb an Dateien dabei.
Wenn ich diese jetzt in Premiere Pro lade wird irgendwann der Ton unsynchron zum Video. Das ist er aber nur in Premiere. Wenn ich das Video so anschaue mit VLC oder dem Media Player passt alles.
So kann ich die Videos leider nicht ordentlich schneiden oder bearbeiten.
Das Problem liegt anscheinend dadran das die FPS Rate im Video nicht konstant 30 ist sondern variiert.
Jage ich das ganze Video durch ein anderes Tool z.B. Handbrake und speichere es nochmal mit festen 30fps hat das Video im Premiere Pro keine Probleme.
Ich kann jedoch nicht diese großen Datenmengen jedesmal vor-Rendern bevor ich sie eigentlich schneiden kann. Das ist nur eine Bastellösung die mit einer Profi-Software wie Premiere Pro nicht nötig sein sollte.
Falls jemand Tipps hat wie ich das ganze elegant lösen kann bitte melden
Ich kann leider auf die Aufnahme Software Avermedia RECentral nicht verzichten. Es ist die einzige Lösung die in 1a Qualität aufnehmen kann ohne die CPU zu beeinflussen.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
-Kelsier

Das ist nur eine Bastellösung die mit einer Profi-Software wie Premiere Pro nicht nötig sein sollte.
Warum? Du hast's genau auf dem Kopf gestellt - dein Screencapture ist die "Bastellösung". Im professionellen Videobereich für Werbung und Broadcast gibt's nämlich keine variablen Bildraten. Sofern es keinen Weg gibt, korrekte Bildraten in deinem Tool zu erzwingen, wirst du damit leben müssen.

Importing a recorded Skype call into Premiere Pro & audio goes out of sync. PLEASE help!

Every time I try and import a clip it gets out of sync, but if I open the file in quicktime its perfect???

(Not sure why this response was originally rejected by the moderators, but am trying again.)
A solution that worked for us:
[EDIT] I do NOT work for any of the companies included in this solution, nor do I receive any kind of renumeration from them. I am recording the software and steps we used to overcome the problem of the original poster.[END EDIT]
The Skype Call Recorder (Ecamm) has 4 built-in converter/splitter apps (you have to look in the "Movie Files" folder to find them). We used the apps to split the recorded Skype video calls into 2 separate "conversations" and then used a free online converter (http://www.online-convert.com/) to convert the conversations into MP4s. Once the MP4s were imported into Adobe Premiere the audio lined up perfectly with the video.
Hope this helps somebody.

Exporting from Premiere Pro Audio Out of Sync!

I am using the latest version of Permiere Pro and it is up to date. I imported animation files that I did on Adobe Flash Professional. I made my movie and everything is fine. But when I go to export my project the audio becomes uncycned in the finish product. I am using Youtube 720 23.976, and change the frame rate to 24. It has worked fine, on the first two videos I have done. I am using Quicktime to view the movies after they are exprted, and that is where I see the problem has occured. I am wondering what do I do so that when I have my exported movie, in the final product, the audio is cynced with the movie itself. Thanks for your help.
