Trouble importing audio files in CS4

I have my entire video put together, and when i went to put in simple special effects or backround music i have encountered a major problem. When i go to insert and audio file, Instead of putting the audio file actually in one of the audio tracks ( Audio 1, Audio 2, etc.) it goes into the Video 1 track and mutes my video clip. This is making it impossible to edit my video. So why can i not drag and drop an mp3 file into one of the Audio tracks successfully?
P.S. This is my first time using an Adobe product to edit a video, but i do have editing experience.
Thank You

OK, let's see if this helps a bit.
Go to the Track Header of your existing Audio Tracks (the ones with existing Audio Clips), and Lock them. Now, drag your Audio Clip to an empty Audio Track, or down to the Master Track, for PrPro to create the necessary empty Audio Track.
Does that work?
Note that Audio Source Clips must match the channel-count of the intended Audio Track. This ARTICLE goes into more detail.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Importing Audio Files From CD

    New to Logic Express 9
    I tried this for the first time last night and had some trouble. A bass track imported...looked like a bass instrument but sounded like an overhead drum mic??? I just clicked "Import Audio Files" and went directly to the CD. These were wav files so I'm thinking it is a coversion issues. Checked the file with Itunes and it's definitely a bass track. What's the best way to accomplish this import?
    Thanks

    It's becoming obvious that the program has become corrupted in some way. I have a session that I closed in good shape only to find the next time I opened it that all the sends were activated and even after turning all the sends off I'm still getting bleed from two or three tracks in a single track.
    In this current session I tried muting the problem bass track and dragging it again from the audio bin into another track. This time it's got sax on it although visually the wav looks the same as the original bass track.
    I guess I'll have to call Apple Care...jeeze!

  • Imported audio files are repeating same audio on objects in a slide

    Hi
    I can't find anything here that mentions the problem I am having.
    I am using Captivate 4. And Neospeechs desktop VoiceText program to record audio files outside of Captivate. They are saved as WAV files, then I import the audio into Captivate.
    I have various objects on a slide. For example, I have six text Rollover Captions. When you roll over them, some text is displayed. I have attached my audio files to these rollover objects. So, I would have audio1.wav, audio2.wav, audio3.wav etc and these play when you roll over the captions.
    The issue I am having, is that when I Publish or Preview the project, sometimes the wrong audio file is playing upon rollover. Usually the first couple of caption/file combinations will work, so I get audio1.wav for caption1 and audio2.wav for caption2, but then say for captions 3,4,5,6 I am still getting audio1.wav playing!
    I have doubled checked everything and the correct audio files are attached to the captions. And they all play correctly in Edit view.
    I've just noticed this has happened again in a different Captivate 4 project, where I have about 6 lines of Text Animation, with an audio file for each text animation. They have been distributed across the timeline so that the text animations do not overlap, and yet I am still hearing imported audio files repeated.
    If anyone can help to shed any light on this, i'd be grateful, as I'm totally stumped!
    thanks

    Have you got the correct selection buttons at the bottom left of the Files panel enabled under Sort by:?

  • The audio file is not recognized by Logic. Can't import audio files?

    Hi,
    The audio files are on my desktop. Logic 9.1.1 will not recognize them and gives me this message when I try to drag and drop OR Import Audio File OR use Audio Bin.
    As far as I know, I am using wave files (extension .wav). So what could be the problem. Here's a picture of how the files look on my desktop.
    The regular silver and blue iTunes icons look like this when I Get Info:
    The black iTunes icons look like this when I Get Info:
    Importantly, the black iTunes (only 2 out of the 18 audio files) are the ones that actually import. Does it have something to do with the fact that it shows under "More Info > Audio Channels 1" vs. the silver and blue iTunes .wav files (which do NOT have this)?
    Furthermore, here is the process I used to get the audio files in the first place. On my PC, I exported audio files from my Ableton Live project onto a thumbdrive. I copied the audio files from my thumbdrive to my Mac. Maybe this had something to do with it.
    Also, as you can see, under Sharing and Permissions > there is only "read and write" for all names, so it's not a permissions thing.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your reply.
    +Can you play them as Preview (select in Finder, hit spacebar)?+ No. The black iTunes icons play with no sound and the silver and blue iTunes icons do not even come up in Preview at all.
    +Will iTunes play them?+ Only the black iTunes files (2 out of the 18). When I click on a silver and blue icon'd file, it will not even open in iTunes.
    why on the desktop? it was just a temporary thing. I was not able to pull them into my Audio Bin. I tried what you suggested. I put the files in the Audio Files folder of my project. When I go to open them from within Logic by Import Audio File, they are visible but greyed out. I don't use the desktop except for testing stuff like you do.
    +How was the thumb drive formatted? FAT32 or other DOS-format, or Mac OS Extended (HFS)?
    +the extension is not where apps look to recognize an audio file format, it is the header data. Some audio programs can read RAW audio files, but more about that after your reply to this one.+ It is formatted MS-DOS (FAT 32).
    (*I wrote all this stuff above while I was working and waiting for the PC to write to my thumbdrive again*******finally I got everything to show up.
    I loaded the files again from the thumbdrive. This time they were all in the black iTunes format, and I put them directly in the Audio Files folder like you suggested. After some doing everything works fine. Weird.
    Thanks!

  • Trouble importing LOA files

    Hello,
    I've got 300+ laptops that require 2 new AC profiles added and an old profile removed. I've followed the AC profile deployment guide which is relatively straight forward, but when I try to silently import the LOA file using the qctray /importsilently command, nothing happens. The profiles do not appear in AC. However, I can import the LOA file manually using the profile import menu option but the imported profiles do not retain the encryption key. I've tried AC 4.41 and AC 4.52
    I called Lenovo support but the rep didn't know where to route my call so someone is supposed to call me back.
    Anyone seen this? Is a log file somewhere that can help?

  • Captivate 2  Vista unable to import audio files

    Hi
    I have had an audio problem with Captivate 2 and Vista -
    There is a hot fix to enable recording which works.I did that
    ... . but I am unable to import audio files.. even those that came
    with Captivate 2 in the gallery give me the same error message..
    unable to decode & import wav/mp3 file.
    Does anyone have a solution!! Need to do a demo next week!!
    thanks
    phil

    Hi Phil
    I don't suppose using Captivate on Windows XP is an option
    for you? This would seem to be a Vista related issue. Captivate 2
    may work to an extent on Vista, but it would appear this may be one
    of the "gotchas" one may encounter when using it in this
    environment.
    The good news is that Captivate 3 was announced today and
    will work on Vista. I know this doesn't help you immediately, but
    will provide an answer before too long.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Automator Action "Import Audio Files" error message

    I use this automator action daily when it is activated via an alarm time in iCal. It is the 3rd workflow run in a series of 7 worlflows to create audio files while I'm at work (I record XM programming for use later on my iPod). Since I upgraded to OSX Lion yesterday, I'm getting a new error message I've never seen and I can't find any info on it. Can anyone help? The error message in a popup dialogue box is:
    The action “Import Audio Files” encountered an error.
    Check the actionʼs properties and try running the workflow again.
    Under the Log for the workflow I get this message:
    The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus error -1712.) (-1712)
    The imported audio file does actually get inputted into iTunes and converted properly via iTunes, but the error creates two problems. One is the source file isn't deleted after the action runs (which is a checkbox option in that particular action). This isn't a big deal, because I can create another workflow seperately to delete the file, so I'm not as concerned with that. The major problem is that the error dialoge box displays and the sebsequent workflows that are scheduled to run right after this one can't run becasue Automator is occupied with the error message.
    I'm looking for any advice I can find, I've been using this series of workflows for a long time without issue, but seems like everytime there is a new OS I have to go through the geriatrics of figuring out what slight changes apple made to the Automator actions.
    Thanks for reading,
    Chris

    Hi,
    I just solved the problem pretty easily: earlier, on Snow Leopard, automator had to be set to work in 32bit instead of 64bit otherwise there has been a lot of error messages. 
    I tried to do the same with iTunes on Lion and, oh miracle, it works:
    close iTunes then go to Applications -> right click on iTunes -> read informations -> check the box to run the app in 32bits and restart iTunes and .... that's it.
    I work in a local radio in Belgium and I rely on automator on an everyday basis to download then add prerecorded broadcasts to iTunes to be aired with Lion server and I was stuck since a few weeks because of that problem. Now I can finally work again :-)
    English is not my native language so please forgive me for my mistakes ... :-)

  • It is very difficult to import audio files from extern drives (NAS) into the new garageband

    it is very difficult to import audio files from extern drives (NAS) into the new garageband.

    Are you trying to open an audio file in GarageBand or a GarageBand project?
    To open an audio file drag it from your NAS to a real-instrument track in GarageBand.
    If you are trying to open a GarageBand project - can you open the same project, if you copy it to your system drive?

  • Encore CS4 Hangs on importing audio files

    My newly upgraded RTX2 PC immediately hangs as soon as I try and import a WAVE or MP3 audio file into Encore. I can import other types of file into Encore. My OS is windows 7 Professional and I have the latest versions of Encore and Matrox Tools.

    The LG software was :
    BD Rewiter & HD DV D-ROM Drive Solution
    Which contains: PowerDVD, PowerProducer, Power2GO-Lightscribe Support, Instant Burn, Power Backup and BD Advisor.
    All this software however was installed on my system when I ran CS3 and I never had any trouble before. In fact the only additional software between my old CS3 setup and the newly upgraded CS4 setup is that I now use Norton 360 instead of Macafee.
    Can't help feeling that this is just another Adobe oddity, as Premier CS4 is also showing some wierd problems that CS3 never had! The old CS3 setup was actually far better than CS4 and just did the job without any aggro.
    Best wishes

  • Trouble getting audio files when importing R3D files into CS5.5 Prem Pro

    Importing R3D files into Premiere Pro CS5.5 works for Video but the audio doesn't convert properly.   There is an audio file included in the R3D file that PP can see but it just has a few spikes.
    This same file played in REDcine-X plays the video/audio just fine.   Is there some audio setting in Premiere Pro that I should be setting?
    Oddly enough if I use REDcine-X to output a RED Trim file and then import it into PP, the audio file is shown separately and is imported correctly.   This of course involves a file conversion step in the workflow and a step that we are hoping to avoid.

    In order to import all kinds of  r3d, we had better convert it to adobe more compaitble video format like dv, mpeg, avi
    You may refer to the following step by step guide on how to convert .r3d movies at Convert R3D to ProRes, MOV, AVI, MP4, WMV, 3GP, MKV
    The guide applies to:
    Convert R3D to ProRes 4444, 422, 422 (HQ), 422 (LT), and 422 (Proxy) to fast import any version of Final Cut Pro or Final Cut Pro X.
    Convert R3D to MOV, MP4 to import R3D to iMovie for easy editing or to play R3D in QuickTime, iTunes, iPad, iPod, iPhone, Apple TV.
    Convert R3D to AVI, WMV, MPG to edit R3D in Avid, Adobe Premiere, Sony Vegas, Windows Movie Maker or play R3D in Windows Media player, Xbox 360, Microsoft Surface.
    Convert R3D to FLV, WebM, H.264, MP4 for upload R3D video files to YouTube
    Convert R3D to DV, VOB, ASF, SWF, RM, 3GP, OGV, FLAC, OGG, MP3, WAV, WMA, AC3, AIFF, WMA and etc.

  • Unable to import MPG-files in CS4

    Hi
    I'm using a trial version of Premiere Pro CS4, but I have some troubles with importing some MPG-files.
    When I try to import them PP tells me that the file is not supported or dammaged. But they work fine in media players and Windows Movie Maker.
    I have an example of a file here: http://dicksmock.dk/premiere/M2U00118.MPG (the clip has only a black screen and audio).
    How can I import these files? It can't be right that Windows Movie Maker is able to do something Premiere can't.
    Best regards

    Ah, I got you.
    The problem would be to find a legit version of CS4 for sale. It has been mentioned that some certified resellers did have copies that they were selling off. If purchasing from them, I highly doubt that Adobe would be willing to honor the same 30-day return policy. Also, be very careful that this IS a legit reseller with stock of CS4 on hand. With the 64-bit OS aspect of CS5, I can just imagine that the pirates will see a potential market for CS4 and work that scam. Just a guess, but would expect to see tons of CS4's on eBay, and would also guess that 99% were bogus.
    Take care, and sorry about the lack of MPEG support for the trial. That might change, as you are not the only person to get "hooked" by the fine print. Most of us here feel that Adobe needs to do another type of trial, like a watermark. As has been mentioned, the MPEG issue is due to licensing restrictions for the MainConcept MPEG CODEC's and has been around for a long time. Rumors are that something may change at some point in the future.
    Good luck,

  • Trouble Importing Frames into AC CS4 9.02.42

    Good afternoon,
    I am having trouble importing the frames for a project into AE CS4, and it seems to be an issue with After Effects remembering a previous attempt and importing these files.
    The first time I tried ti import this project, I hadn't realized that the initially copy of the data from the external drive to my project drive ( internal SATA 1 TB drive) had gotten corrupted becuase Soundbooth had locked up and I had to hard shut down the system while the copy was processing ( lesson learned, never try and start editing Audio on a project while the video frames are still copying to the drive) and AE opened all the files on the drive and then generated an error because the last frames were corrupt.  I deleted the folder on the project drive and recopied the project over from the external drive and let it finish before I tried anything on the system.  I have verified all the frames are intact now on the project drive, I have used Purge All on AE, but when ever I try to import the files into AE, it still stops at frame 32767 and doesnt load the rest of the video.  I need to be able to load all 53813 frames so I can work on this project.  I even renamed the prefix on the files and attempted to load them again, and still it stops at frame 32767.
    Is there a way I am missing to completely purge any history lists, temp files, etc, with Adobe Premiere CS4 and AfterEffects CS4 ?
    I can import a 79 GB uncompressed AVI just fine no issues, so I know it is not a system resources problem, I am on Vista 64 with 8 gb of RAM and loads of free hard drive space.
    Does anyone have anyideas how to resolve this and what I can do to fix AE so it will import this entire project?  I still have to import the second have of the project too which is another half hour worth of frames.
    Thank you,
    Jeff

    I wonder if the 64 bit version of AfterEffects CS5 will remove that limitation?
    Why should it? You are confusing things here (no offense). This has nothing to do with how much memory AE can handle or any of that, it's good old 16bit integer code that handles the numbering calculations. This is certainly an issue just as deep as the memory handling itself and bound to cause a ton of compatibility problems with older versions, so any change on that end will have to be weighed carefully before changing it. I wouldn't keep my hopes up for any soon-ish action on that end, as certainly it is not the highest priority for 99% of users that only ever handle short sequences...
