Premiere Pro CS6 is Adding Horrible Hiss to my Audio... ?

I've been working on a project for a while; I actually started this video in a different editing software and switched to Premiere Pro halfway through, starting completely over. I've noticed this horrible noise in the background of a few of my recorded dialogue audio tracks. It's very noticable. At first I thought something was wrong with my H4n, and the noise was recorded onto the original file; but nope. I opened up the original audio file, and it sounds perfectly clean. I have added a little bit of gain in Premiere, but that couldn't be the cuplrit because I still hear this noise without the gain. On top of that, the editing software I used in the first place didn't appear to have the noise either. From what I can tell, Premiere Pro has to be the source of this aweful noise... I have no effects or anything added to thesee tracks; yet it continues to haunt my ears. Any ideas what this could be? Perhaps there's something I'm not seeing... ?
I find it hard to believe such a fatal issue could exist in a piece of renowned $800 software, but nothing else plays back this nasty sound. Please help!

Good news. As far as I can tell, the problem is fixed! I moved the affected clips into a new sequence created from the original audio file, and the noise dissappeared. I guess since I made the old sequence from the video, it had something incorrect for the audio presets which caused that noise. Thanks again for your help.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 importing .mp4 = "The file has no audio or video streams."

    Hi,

    I encountered a similar problem.  I had quicktime files that would play in the quicktime player from the desktop, but wouldn't import the files "the file has no audio or video streams".  I had just reinstalled quicktime, and Premier with no change.  Finally realized that we had Barracuda protection that was at fault.  It was preventing communication to the quicktime codec and thus Premier could not interpret the footage.  Another symptom, I would also launch After Effects and it would tell me that quicktime wasn't installed.
    I solved this by uninstalling Barracuda.  We reported the fault to Barracuda, and have not seen any change in the software.

  • Weird hissing bug in Premiere Pro CS6

    I'm having a very strange problem with audio in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.
    Whenever I make a cut in an audio clip, a few seconds of broadband hiss is introduced into it after the cut. The hiss is only there in the exported video. It does not appear after every cut but about 10% of them.
    The hiss is equally there when I export into different video/audio formats. It is there when I used different editing codecs. It might only be there for clips I recorded using some not so good microphones on a Canon 5D II, but the hiss only shows up after I make an audio edit and export the video/audio or just the audio. Sometimes though it shows up right away in PP before export. If I clean up the hiss in Audition for a given clip I no longer hear it in PP but again it reappears after export.
    It seems like the problem shows up when editing video shot on a Canon 5D MII with the in camera mic or several shotgun mics, but not with a decent lavalier mic. Changing the edit and export codecs doesn't help the problem.
    (i7 960 3.3 GHz, Win 7 sp1 12GB, Nvidia GeForce GTX 470 1280MB, PP 6.02)

    I have not encountered the "hissing bug"
    But have encountered something similar to what you describe - but with differences.
    When Audio is Cut at a point, that is not a Zero-Crossing, depending on the point on the Waveform, that the Cut was made, there can be a "pop," at that spot. Adobe Audition has the ability to set Cut at Zero-Crossing, but I do not think that PrPro has that capability.
    Now, all of my encounters with a non-Zero-Crossing Cut has been the formation of a Transient, which does sound just like a pop (not a hiss) sound. I have never heard a hiss, and I do not think that what you are hearing, is what I am, with non-Zero-Crossing Cuts - they just happen to appear AT an Audio Cut.
    Still, you might want to look at the Waveform very closely, just to rule out non-Zero-Crossing Cuts, in case that IS causing what you observe, but just producing a different sound, due to the difference in your Audio material.
    Also, have you done a side-by-side comparison in Audition between one of the files with the hiss, and the original sourse file? What differences do you see, where the Cut was made, if so?
    Wish that I had more to offer than a slightly similar problem, with a different sound.
    Good luck,

  • How can I re touch the model in Premiere PRO CS6?

    Hello !
    I am using Premiere Pro CS6. We are shooting a documentary where i have the host who some pimples, moles etc.
    So How can i retouch it and make perfect ?

    Welcome to the forum.
    One possible treatment, within PrPro would be to do a Track Matte Key, where a little bit of Blur is added. Once, there was a great tutorial on softening blemishes in skin tone, but it is no longer.
    This article covers some of the high-points of the process. The success, and handwork, will depend on how much the host moves about: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4575874#4575874
    Because so much can be Keyframed, and limited via Track Matte Keying, one is limited only by their imagination. I would first Duplicate the Clip, add a bit of Blur to that Duplicate, then limit that Blur to just the facial areas with a Track Matte.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - Beyond that, there are some neat tools in After Effects, that go beyond.

  • How does Sony Vegas Pro 12 compare to Premiere Pro CS6?

    About 2 months ago, I purchased Premiere Pro CS6 retail box version from Best Buy.  With everything going to the CC, I can't get upgrades unless I join the CC.  This is NOT something I want to do!  I would like to know if the chroma keying and image stabilization in Sony Vegas pro 12 are just as good or similar to Premiere Pro? I already read about how to transfer the product license on the Adobe website.  If I decide to make the switch, I will list my Premiere Pro on Ebay. Another reason why I may want to get Vegas Pro is because I found out about the AVCHD bug in Premiere AFTER I purchased it.  It has been over a year and Adobe has still not fixed the bug. I have a feeling they will never fix the bug because of the new CC vesion.  I am currently about half way through the classroom in a book from Adobe and have not yet edited any of my own videos.  My video camera is a Canon Vixia HF S20 and my computer is a new Dell XPS 8500 with Core i7 and 12 GB of ram. Just a bit frustrated on what to do.  If I can't sell my Premiere Pro for a good enough price, I will keep it and switch to Vegas or some other program after it becomes obsolete.

    You can download a fully functional demo of Sony Vegas 12 Pro.  That's what I did.  So far I like it and will be making the switch to Sony Vegas 12 Pro.
    They also have Suite version which include HitFilm 2 Ulimate.  This program is like After Effects.  I haven't started playing with that yet.
    Also, there is Movie Studio 12 Platinum Visual Effects Suite 2.  That's a mouth full.  Anyhow, it is based on Sony Vegas 12 and it comes with HitFilm 2 Express.  The Express version is a stripped down version of HitFilm 2 Ulimate.  The Express version is still a great program for adding effects.  For some people Movie Studio 12 is all they will need,
    Both version, Vegas and Movie Studio, have GPU acceleration which is really nice. 
    I also just picked up Corel PaintShop Pro X5 Ultimate.  It sells for $69.95 and it can open and save .PSD files.  So I don't have to worry about all of the .PSD files I saved in Photoshop
    Right now I have CS5 and CS6.  Premiere CS6 has a lot of bug, the AVCHD spanning clips, slow motion that jitters, caching problem, slower exports, etc.

  • Adobe premiere pro CS6 crashes whenever I move the timeline

    Hi there, my Adobe Premiere pro CS6 crashes when moving the timeline or importing new clips. I have tried several things, I opened up a earlier project to try that and it was fine for a while, but after about 5-10mins of use it hit the same problem and would then always crash whenever I openend it and moved the timeline marker or added a new clip.
    Another problem that may or may not be related, is that some clips are broken up into about 6 glitchy squares instead of the actual clip.
    Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

  • Is there no User Guide for Premiere Pro CS6?

    I am a FCP7 refugee trying to decide between Avid and PP CS6. After waiting for a few weeks for it to be available, I have been lookiig through the PP CS6 Help PDF. I was surprised to see that it is not a complete reference guide documenting the features of the application, but instead a mish-mash of short descriptions, with numerous links to videos, documents from earlier versions, and other external locations where one has to go to get the actual information--not very helpful as a guide to the application. Is there actually no comprehensive user guide from Adobe in a single document or PDF? Or is the only way to get information about the application to navigate through all these disjointed materials?
    If there is such a user guide, I would very much like to know where I can find it. If there isn't, I would have to count this as a very big factor in favor of deciding to go with Avid. This is particularly true given the absence of any current third-party books on PPro CS6, although such books are hardly a substitute for a well written and comprehensive user guide, something which is also true of the help PDF.

    Groppler wrote:
    Since the links are to the on-line CS6 help and the PDF version of that help, both of which are a collection of materials concerning CS5, CS5.5 and CS6...
    Yes, for CS6, new information was added to the CS5/CS5.5 documentation. We had to go this route because we are working with brand new documentation software. There simply was not enough time to integrate the software and complete a whole new set of documentation. Believe me, it was enough of a challenge integrating the old system with the new one--in addition to creating the articles for new features, and the connective tissue between them.
    There is only one person that does the docs for Premiere Pro, and that is me. I have limitations and guidelines I must follow, so I hope you understand.
    Groppler wrote:
    ...with links to external sources you have to go to for information, I guess the answer to my question is that there is no true user guide for Premiere Pro CS6 that one can go to for comprehensive information about the application...
    No, this is the Help. It has BOTH the comprehensive details about the software and community content where you can see how people are actually using the software. If the Help is lacking details about any feature, please alert me and I will include those details. I work directly from the engineering documentation and include every detail I can about any feature.
    Since my time is limited, I don't always have time to make supplemental materials like video tutorials, or articles. That's why I link to them. The crucial info is included in the docs, the community content is material that I personally approve as helpful and supportive to the documentation.
    Groppler wrote:
    ...without sorting through irrelevant information or navigating to all these third-party sites to see if they have information you are looking for.
    None of the community content is irrelevant. I sort through it all very carefully. Community content is supportive and helpful to users. It should not be necessary to sort through these tutorials as the info should be right in the docs. Community content is supplemental. If you don't find the information you were looking for in the docs themselves, create a comment right on the Help page and I'll see to it that it gets fixed ASAP.
    Groppler wrote:
    I am quite surprised by this and think the absence of a real user guide is a significant shortcoming of Premiere Pro, not shared by other products on the market.
    It is a real user guide. I'm sorry you don't feel that way. If you want a doc with only Premiere Pro CS6 info in it, I can understand that request. Unfortunately, that was impossible for this round.
    If you have any suggestions for the next round of Help documentation, a better place than here would be the Community Help forum. Please voice your concerns there, as the people that actually make decisions about Help are hanging out there.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 Error Message Codec Missing or unavailable?

    I know there is already a thread about this... but I couldn't figure out how to add to that thread. I have been googling for like 2 hours and get this figured out! Sorry if this is a silly question, I am very new!
    A videographer sent my company a hard drive with video footage he took from our event. I need to split these clips up and import them to Premiere Pro.
    Here is all my info:
    Premiere Pro 6.0.2 just updated about an hour ago-
    Mac OS X 10.7.5
    I am trying to import and edit footage a video-ographer gave my company from an event. He sent it to us on an external hard drive. I am not sure what kind of camera he used.
    I have downloaded RedCode or whatever. Updated Premiere Pro.
    The file type is .mov. It plays fine in Quick Time 10, but only the sound plays in Quick Time Pro 7.
    The Codecs for this file are MPEG-2 AND LINEAR PCM,  TIMECODE
    I also need to split these clips into smaller clips before importing into Premiere Pro, the clips are all between 8-11GB, if you want to help me with that too.

    I had the same issue after I re-installed both Mountain Lion and Adobe products. MOV (XDCAM) media was not reading on Premiere Pro CS6. "Codec Missing or Unavailable" kept prompting. Following ComputerNovice25 advice did not do the trick for this problem. But, I was able to fix issue by simply updating my OS. A ProApps Quicktime Codecs 1.0 was included in the update, which added the following video codecs for Quicktime-based applications:
    Apple Intermediate Codec
    Apple ProRes
    AVC-Intra
    DVCPRO HD
    HDV
    XDCAM HD / EX / HD422
    MPEG IMX
    Uncompressed 4:2:2
    This update is highly recommended for all users running any MacOSX and any type of NLE.
    Hope this helps.

  • Error during start up of Premiere Pro CS6.  "... could not find any capable video play modules..."

    During start up of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, I get the following error message.  "Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules.  Please update your video display drivers and start again."  This does not occur on After Effects, and the program runs successfully.  Premiere Pro will not open, and in the start up window the last thing the status line states before the error message occurs is: "Loading ImporterQuikTime.prm"
    I have added an NVidia GPU card to my system and have installed the latest video drivers from the NVidida website (GeForce 310.70).  This did not help.  I have QuikTime on my computer, but am not sure if it needs to be in a certain file location.
    I have also gone in to BIOS after installing the GPU and disabled internal graphics, but that did not help either.  Not sure what to do next.  Any suggestions?
    Thank you,
    Rhoadman

    Thank you everyone for the replies.  Although I don't have a laptop, the following seems to work. 
    Solution 1  
    On Windows 7, right-click the shortcut to Adobe Premiere Pro, and choose Run as Administrator. 
    Using this method, Premiere Pro opened successfully.  Using the shortcut directly, the error persists.  It looks like we will just have to open the program using this method.
    Many thanks for the replies.

  • Why Do I get Choppy Playback in Premiere Pro CS6

    Before upgrading from CS5.5 to CS6 I wiped my computer and started from scratch. When editing 4 angles in CS5.5 I never had any problems with playback... even after adding titles, effects..
    In CS6 I have my 4 files set into a multicam sequence but when I play back and start cutting from cam to cam it gets choppy.
    I am running:
    Windows 7 64bit
    On a Dell Studio XPS 9100
    Intel Core i7 930 @ 2.80GHz
    12.0 GB Ram
    ATI Radeon HD 5800
    I have my memory preferences in PR set to 12 GB Installed, Ram for other aps = 3 Ram fpr PR 9GB, and it set to performance
    Any help to speed up and render this proper would be great, Still have to add color correction, titles, logo.

    The 1st update came out today. Downloading now. Looks like it should fix my old problems... fingers crossed
    What's new in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 6.0.1:
    May 26th, 2012
    Features added or changed in this update:
    · Improved performance using OpenCL, especially when used on Mac OSX v10.7.4 or later.
    · Added encoding presets with additional bit-rate settings for XDCAM HD.
    · Added Automatic Peak File Generation preference in the Audio category for turning off automatic peak file generation for imported audio. By default, this preference is enabled and matches the behavior of Premiere Pro CS6 (6.0.0).
    · When this preference is disabled, importing audio or opening projects will not cause peak files to be generated. If peak files were already generated, then waveforms will be visible. Files imported before the preference was disabled will continue to generate peak files.
    · Enabled “smart rendering” and added Enable Smart Rendering Codec setting to the Video tab of the MXF OP1a exporters for XDCAM HD and XDCAM EX to enable or disable smart rendering for these formats. This option defaults to the off/disabled state. We’ll have more information about this feature in a post on this blog within a day.
    Bugs fixed in this update:
    · Start timecode was not imported or exported correctly when working with AAF files.
    · Some files from the Canon 5D Mark III camera were imported with the wrong timecode.
    · Playing/viewing waveforms in the Source Monitor caused audio dropouts with some XDCAM HD clips.
    · NTSC MXF OP1a files that were exported with drop-frame timecode had video data that was tagged as non-drop-frame.
    · Switching the Renderer project setting from Mercury Playback Engine Software Only to Mercury Playback Acceleration GPU Acceleration on a computer using OpenCL caused Premiere Pro to crash under some circumstances. Switching between the two settings on a computer using CUDA would in some cases cause problems with video and/or audio playback.
    · Crash when using full-screen, cinema mode on some computer systems.
    · Tape capture was not working correctly with some third-party systems.
    · Crash when capturing from tape using some BlackMagic hardware.
    · An extra, black frame was included at the end of the output when exporting to P2 MXF in some circumstances.
    · First two frames were being played twice on external monitor using Matrox MXO2.
    · Crash when using “hover scrub” with Matrox MXO2.
    · Audio/video synchronization was off by a few frames when playing video on external monitor.
    · The Export Frame button was not exporting the correct frame, instead exporting a frame one or two frames away from the current frame.
    · Some audio files and some MXF files would go offline or have their audio reconformed when the project was re-opened or when Premiere Pro was minimized or lost focus.
    · Crash when modifying an effect property while playback was occurring.
    · Hang/freeze when using a dissolve transition on an adjustment layer.
    · Dropped frames and audio/video synchronization issues when exporting to tape using some third-party hardware.
    · Information about dropped frames on output to tape was not accessible to third-party systems.
    · Some QuickTime files were imported with the wrong field order.
    · When audio was sent through a Mercury Transmit plug-in, any number of channels that was not 2 or 6 was treated as mono.
    · In HDV editing mode, File > Export > Tape could not be used with third-party hardware.
    · The current-time indicator (playhead) was not returning to the current time after using the Play Around command.
    · Last several frames of output when exporting to tape were black.
    · When encoding a 23.976 fps video to H.264, the duration of the video in the output .m4v file was too short, and audio drifted out of synchronization with the video.
    · Transparency (alpha channel) information from a dynamically linked After Effects composition was rendered incorrectly in Premiere Pro.
    · Importing some QuickTime OP1a files caused Premiere Pro to hang.
    · The duration of the audio track sent to SpeedGrade using the Send To SpeedGrade command was the length of the entire Premiere Pro sequence, not the length of the work area.
    · Timecode written to trimmed clips using the Project Manager did not match the source timecode for some QuickTime files.
    · Various other crashes.

  • Exporting AVCHD for BluRay in Premiere Pro CS6

    Hello,
    I have AVCHD files taken with a HD camcorder at its highest quality settings (HD FX - 1920 x 1080 - 24Mbps - H.264AVC).  I am looking for the most appropritate workflow to edit these in Premiere Pro CS6 and burn them over to BluRay using Encore, while maintaining the original quality of the AVCHD files.  Currently when I import the files into Premiere Pro, and preview the video clips in the sequence, the video appears as it does in the original files.  In PrPro, the properties of the AVCHD files indicate that they are at 29.97 fps, 1920 x 1080, with square pixels (1.0).  However, after exporting the sequence from Premiere Pro (via Media Encorder) to Encore, the video appears to have some jagged edges with some loss of video quality, and I would like to resolve this issue.  For the export settings I am using the H.264 BluRay default settings.  Please provide details on the correct/most appropriate settings that should be used to export the PrPro sequence to Encore with the above mentioned AVCHD files to Encore for recording onto BluRay while maintaining the original file quality.  Thanks.

    Seaspray -  I will let the experts correct any bad advice here and perhaps I am adding nothing you already don't know or are doing.   I recently went through the same exercise being new to PP CS6.   Is that footage interlaced?    I first drug a sample clip to the New Item button to create a matching sequence.    I had some issues when I wasn't being careful about sequence settings matching, particularly putting interlaced in a progressive sequence.   When I was ready to export, I chose the H.264 Blu-ray preset closest to my source footage.   I made sure the key video characteristics matched - frame size, frame rate, progressive vs. interlaced, if the latter upper or lower, PAR, etc. etc.   In some cases I tweaked VBR vs. CBR and bit rates.    I then produced separate .m2v and .wav video/audio files.   Then I imported those files as assets into Encore.   You should then see Encore tell you it does not need to encode the video or audio after analysis.    Unfortunatley, this process does require one encoding, but I don't believe there is anyway around that matter as PP CS6 apparently does not support "smart rendering".   However, I think with just one encoding you are not going to see your footage noticeably degraded.    Agreed, none of the monitors in PP or Encore should be used to judge quality.   I also noticed major differences playing back files on my PC with various media players vs. PS3 + big TV.  

  • Installing premiere pro cs6

    I am trying to download Premiere Pro CS 6 and Creative Cloud doesn't give me a previous version filter option and the only download I can find is fo the German version. where do I find a Mac English download to install? It appears that at every juncture Adobe assumes I'm using the CC version.

    CS5-thru-CC PPro/Encore tutorial list http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1448923 may help
    The bottom section of the link above has several Adobe links, and other information, on downloading Premiere Pro CS6 and the bundled Encore CS6, and the TWO ADDED downloads for the Encore library content... including a link to a picture that SHOWS how to get to the previous version process
    see the picture in reply 3 - Is encore included in premiere cc 2014?
