Strange audio problem in the timeline

I'm editing footage of a show taken from my local theater.. and for some reason when i play footage in the timeline, instead of just hearing the audio for that clip, i can also hear audio that does NOT belong to that clip! I don't understand how or why, as there is nothing else in the timeline which could do this.
Anyone know whats going on?
Thanks

The other sounds are audio from a completely different part of the show.. idk.. the shoot went fine, and when i play the clips when they are in the project list they sound fine.
I readded the clip to the timeline.. and its fine now..

I'm having video playback problems in the timeline, Premiere Elements12

I'm having video playback problems in the timeline, Premiere Elements12.The clip keeps stuttering. The whole video is 45 minutes long, is HD and has added music tracks. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I can't see the Audio Waveforms in the timeline. No triangle button to click. Just switched from FCP. Help!?

I can't see the Audio Waveforms in the timeline. No triangle button to click. Just switched from FCP. Help!

When I click on the wrench or right click to customize the box, these are the options I'm given. I don't see waveform. I've edited in Adobe Audition for years, and see the waveform panels in all the Premiere Pro tutorials, am I missing something? (besides a brain?)

Can you 'zoom' the audio waveform in the timeline?

Unable to find a solution in the help or the FAQ, so I'll post my first question here :-)
I would like to vertically zoom into the audio waveform in the timeline. My situation is that I have a 24-bit audio mix of a classical concert with a fairly large dynamic range, i.e. very loud bits and very quiet bits in one single audio file. I don't see enough waveform detail in the quiet parts, even when I enlarge the track vertically. I haven't found an official way of zooming in, at least in the timeline. The audio-waveform-only display in the source monitor does offer a vertical zoom.
The official help only offers this:
"To see more volume detail when viewing an audio waveform in a Timeline panel, increase the track height."
Which seems to imply that 'zooming' in further to bring out the really quiet parts is not a feature.
I found a bit of a workaround, which is to adjust the clip gain -- the audio waveform changes accordingly. However I'd prefer not to be changing the audio volume every time I need a different vertical zoom on the waveform.
Thanks,
3p

While you can't zoom and the vertical adjustment is limited (which sucks because you can zoom in Audition)` there are still a few more options that might help increase the vertical size of the tracks window.
First, to adjust the vertical space of each track in the timeline place your selection tool over the line between the tracks over on the left side of the track where audio controls are and drag the track bottom up or down. You can also increase the workspace of the timeline by dragging it up using the same technique, or if you have another monitor put the timeline over there and make it much bigger.
Second, use the tilde key to expand the entire timeline window. It's the key to the left of #1 key at the top left. Hit it again to return. It will expand any window that is selected. I use this one to get a better look at the waveform. You can also drag the tracks to make them larger.
good luck!

Adjusting Audio Pan in the Timeline

In the FCE 3.0 help pdf. manual there is a heading for a section: "Adjusting Volume Levels and Pan in the Timeline," but I can't find anywhere that it says anything about adjusting the pan in the timeline, just the levels.
I know how to adjust pan in the viewer, but is there actually a way to do it in the timeline also?

Martin, Thanks, but actually the sound mix on my project is presently quite complex as a clip by clip change in balance from left to right (depending on whether dialogue, sound effects, music, etc.) and I plan on adjusting the pan on each clip individually to especially retain the stereo effect of the music. I just thought it was sort of confusing that the help manual has a section heading on how to adjust pan in the timeline but then doesn't address the issue.
Thanks again, I may end up taking your advice.
Hi Fran,
The only way I know of doing it to all of your
clips in the timeline at once would be to select one
audio clip, and adjust the pan to center (which is
what I believe you want to do, based on your earlier
post). Then select all other audio clips in
the timeline and do Paste Attributes (of course,
having selected just the Pan attribute before
clicking OK in the Paste Attributes window.
For more info, look under "Copying, Pasting &
Removing Clip Attributes" in your FCE manual. In the
FCEHD manual it's in Ch. 16 "Editing in the
Timeline"
Good luck

Audio stopped in the timeline, not muted. Plays in preview, how do I get it back?

Exiting CPTX did not reset either.

Please, could you give more details? Just guessing: when you preview, play the slide you do not hear audio? In that case check the small audio icon on the Timeline, maybe you clicked it and it got muted? And with Preview you point to the other Preview modes (like project, in webbrowser, next 5 slides) when a temporary SWF is generated. Since audio plays there, it must be the small audio button that has been clicked.

Can you have multiple audio bits in the timeline?

I'd like to have multiple audio pieces in one slide. They would be text to speech parts but I want them to be independent in the timeline so I can place them at different times in the slide play or when a button is clicked for example. Is this possible?
I've tried multiple TTS items but they generate audio into 1 audio file in the timeline which is not what I want. If Captivate 6 doesn't have this ability I'm going to be really disappointed.

It is the same work flow IMO but you use a text caption whereas I prefer a highlight box for which I have a dedicated style. Think you find my blog post more complicated because I explained also how to control the audio using show/hide the object it is attached to. In your case you only use them for their timing functionality. In your original question you didn't speak about TTS... something I never use myself, prefer doing VO.

Anyone having problems with art/animation/audio disappearing from the timeline after a save?

Hello,
I'm having problems with many files losing their assets from the timeline after a save and reopening the file in Mac OS X Snow Leopard. This is happens quite often now and there seems to be no pattern to it. For example, I will open an existing Flash animation complete with sound and artwork, make changes to the animation timing, test the SWF and everything looks good, then save. After reopening the exact same file, there will be audio that was on the timeline will be an empty frame. In addition, there is art work that was swapped out or updated to a character and the symbols becomes empty after reopening. I'm losing days and hours of work and I can't seem to find any answers or help to figure out what's going on.
Any insight would be appreciated!
thanks!

I now use CS5.5 but I've noticed it on every version since CS4.
I JUST ran the latest update to 11.5.1.349
I'll let you know if it continues but for now I'm planning to learn a new software. Finally have some time to focus on this and if it works out I may say so long to Flash. I'll give CS6 a try but if it's not SIGNIFICANTLY improved (Brush tool comparable to ToonBoom, No losing data, Better Playback, Ability to export HTML5), it's just not worth it anymore. I've been using Flash since version 1 and since Adobe took it over, I hate to say that anything other than actionscript has gone WAY downhill. Many new features but they don't actually work well, or crash at runtime if used beyond a tutorial's level intensity. What's the point of all that functionality if it looks like garbage and can't perform on a professional level? Even if you do take the extra time to work slowly or limited to make it look nice - it loses the data! or now without HTML5 your venues of use are sliced in half? Pointless. I don't want to trash all my Flash experience, but I'm done defending an inferior product and waiting for it to catch up to a modern professional standard. I think my Flash days may be over very soon unfortunately. I feel like the're more interested in defending what they've created, than in making it work or even asking us what we want. I feel like a Girlfriend who's Man keeps promising to get steady work but hasn't after 10 years. Flash...we need to talk.

Strange audio problem in Premiere Pro CS6

Hi
I have encountered a very strange problem. I am editing a documentary film in Premiere Pro. All material has been shot on the Sony FS 100 camera - imported into PP with the Media Browser. In one interview the last part of a clip has corrupted audio. At one point on the timeline the audio stops playing, and it sounds like a scratch on a vinyl record - two words repeating themselves to the end of the clip (See screenshot of timeline). The images are as they should. When I open the Avchd source clip in VLC the audio is working. When i Import the clip into Final Cut 7 using Log and Transfer the audio is working. My only other option would be that there is a software problem with Premiere Pro CS6. Any ideas of how to fix this issue?
Version PP: 6.0.1
Source footage: MPEG-4 AVCHD (1080/25p - Sony FS100)
Version mac: OS x 10.8
Model Name:     Mac Pro Mid 2010
Processor Name:     Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed:     2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors:     2
Total Number Of Cores:     8
Memory: 20 GB
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 570 GTX
Third-party I/O: Matrox MXO2 with Max
Mercury Playback Engine: Software mode

One similar, potential problem, that can develop, is when the Conforming process is interrupted, before it completes 100%.
A quick way to rule that out, would be to navigate to the Media Cache files, and Delete the CFA and PEK (Waveform Display) for that Clip, outside of Premiere Pro. Then, when you launch PrPro and Open your Project, the program will recreate both of those files. There is a little progress bar, that many do not notice. Let it complete 100%, before even touching the computer. Test.
I hope that it is as simple as that.
Good luck,
Hunt

When clicking an audio clip on the timeline in Premiere Pro CC 2014, it duplicates it on a different track and makes it impossible to work.

I'm experiencing a disturbing issue as it actually prevents me to do the work in Premiere. I will put as much info as possible:
1) Project started on a different computer (the editor), PC with Premiere Pro CC,
2) Now opened on my Imac with Premiere Pro CC 2014,
3) I am not editing, simply trying to move audio clips on different tracks to export audio tracks only,
THE ISSUE:
1) Here is my timeline:
2) When I select an audio clip to highlight it, Premiere creates a duplicate on a different track:
Note that the clip highlighted in the previous screen cap is the duplicate and I didn't click it, Premiere highlights it as soon as it is duplicated.
3) When I click out of the timeline or scroll up or down on the timeline, the duplicates disappear. However, when I try to move the original clips, it doesn't do anything, they are stuck in place.
ANTICIPATED ANSWERS:
1) You work on 2 different computers with 2 different versions of Premiere Pro CC, what do you expect? --> The amazing thing about Adobe CC is that it shouldn't be an issue and now I have to deal with it in this way,
2) Try and save an updated version of your project from your computer. --> Already done that.
Thank you for your help. I usually use the customer support chat but I am on the other side of the globe and it is now closed. This issue prevents me to work so I need to solve it quickly.
Kind regards,
Aurelien

This sounds to me like it could be a graphics related problem are you on the latest driver. Something else you could try, start a new project and import the one from the PC into that rather than directly opening it in the MAC

Strange audio problem

I've created hundreds of DVD's with my current set-up (iDVD 4.0 on a G5 with OS 10.3.9). Suddenly I encountered a very strange problem. The audio sounds fine in iMovie or when I play the .mov file. The volume seems fine--just like any project that I have done before. When I burn it to DVD, however, I can barely hear it with the volume on the TV all the way up. I have the Canopus ADVC-300, which allows me to export an iMovie project directly to a TV. When I do this, the audio is barely audible on the TV. Other DVD's and other iMovie projects play back with the correct volume. What in the world could be causing this? I'm totally at a loss on this one.

Thanks for the suggestion, but that's not it. I have been using the same version of Quicktime all along. I have had so many problems after upgrading software that I basically stopped installing upgrades. Also, I produced other DVD's after experiencing the problem with this particular project. It is so strange that the audio sounds fine on the computer but not when played to a TV (either through a DVD or the A-to-D converter).

NanoFlash audio files on the timeline

Hello,
I am new to the MXF format and have been working mainly with HDV and AVCHD files.
I am interested in buying a Nanoflash and have downloaded the sample file from the CD website.
I have the 1080i60 files.
I have the current version of CS5, and when I inport these clips using the correct XDCAM settings, a place them on the timeline,
the audio portion goes down to the Audio Track number 9. I am use to the audio track being right next to the video track or in the Audio 1 track.
Question: Am I doing something wrong or is this normal for MXF files?
The clip plays fine, but having the audio down on Track 9 is wierd for me.
Any advice or help is appreciated.
~ Rookie

Thanks Harm for the reply but this isn't the case, at least I don't
think it is. The audio track from CD is stereo, it shows a left and right.
I cannot move that audio track either, it's stuck on track nine. When I try to move it the video portion moves with it.
That is probably a seperate issue...I'm not real skilled with CS5 yet.
I thought I read in another post too where the audio from the NanaFlash was showing up on 9.
I find this a bit strange having 8 empty audio tracks between the Video and audio.
Weird. Is anyboby else experiencing this with the Nanoflash sample files?

How can I make the audio waveform in the timeline come back?

Hi all!
Please, excuse my -more than possible- nonnative spelling and grammatical errors beforehand.
For some days, I've been having this problem: the timeline of Premiere Pro CC won't display the audio waveform of the audios I use, no matter if it's music, video sound... It just shows a plain line, as if it was silence:
I wait till the project is fully charged and it never shows.
I'm used to synchronizing the camera audio with the clean audio using the waveform as guide, and even if it's not the only way, it the easiest for me.
I downloaded the latest version, hoping that this issue would be solved (or that whatever configuration I may have accidentally changed, would be reset), and the thing keeps happening. Maybe it's something simple, some option I couldn't find but it's there (I hope so!).
Can someone help me?
Thank you!

Wow, a lot of responses overnight (the time difference showed!).
Thanks everyone! Problem solved! =) As expected, it was just an option I didn't knew about. In my case, in was shooternz who nailed it. I just went to the wrench Icon > show waveform (don't know exactly the name in English, I use Premiere in Spanish) and voilà... I feel dumb.. but happy it's solved nevertheless haha
Best luck solving your issue jonny9091!

Is there a known syncing by audio problem since the last CC update?

On 2 of my machines (Windows 7 and Windows 8.1) Premiere has stopped syncing audio properly. Having used this feature since it was released with 100% success rate (up until the latest update) and no change to the workflow/equipment, Premiere now seems to not even attempt to sync audio clips, and will toss one of the clips down the timeline, in such a way that the clips aren't even close to each other. Below is an example of how syncing is reacting on both machines.

I have this exact same problem. I used the sync feature since it was first released and it worked close to 100% of the time. Then when I tried to use it again for my most recent project, it's like it wasn't even trying anymore. I had to basically sync everything manually. Some of the clips, like yours, were completely transported to random places in the sequence. I have no idea what it could be, but I hope this issue is resolved soon.
