Video playback slow and audio drop out after render

Hi
I have downloaded a trial version of After Effects from the cc,
Problem is everytime I render ou,t the video playback is slow and the audio drops out
This happens with AVI or Quicktime files.
Using a Intel i5 quad core, 8 gig of ram 250 gig ssd.laptop
Render/export in Premire pro is fine.
Can any one help.
Regards Phil Green

It sounds like you might be hitting the space bar in hopes of getting real time playback. Sorry, but AE doesn't work like that, because it does totally different things from an editing application like Premiere.
And if you've downloaded the tryout version, you really ought to learn how AE works... and a short description is "it doesn't work intuitively". You can frustrate yourself in a hurry.
But this can really help;

Audio Drops Out After 30 Seconds

I have just installed Premiere Elements 12 on a new Toshiba with Intel i5 and windows 8. When I play a viedo through Elements the audio drops out after 30 seconds. When I play the same viedo through Windows audio does not drop out. I have an older HP with Intel i3 and Windows 7 running Premiere Elements 10 and I do not have any issues with the audio dropping out. This is the first time I have used this forum so I hopr I'm doing this properly. Thank you, Bob.

With a slower machine like that, it's possible you haven't given the program time to fully conform the audio and video in your file.
Clear the file from your Project Assets and re-add it to your project. Watch the progress along the bottom of the program and wait until it has completed its conforming before you start editing.

Video On Demand pixelation and audio drop out

Been having an intermittent problem with pixelation and audio drop with VOD for over 6 months now. Happens on all TVs/Boxes. Also seeing some Internet issues when this happens. I understand from Verizon tech that same circuit is used for both. After a reboot of router it usually clears for a while (1 – 5 days) but then comes back. It sometimes gets so bad that VOD movie will stop completely and I get an error message “VOD: The set-top box lost video due to a network connection failure [VOD_191]”. I have Cisco boxes. Router, ONT (fiber converter), and all boxes have been replaced but still no resolution. Verizon is struggling to find an answer so I thought I would put this out to the masses for any insights anyone might have.

Static and audio drops out

I am not sure if I am in the right Discussion area. If not, please advise where to post. After having work done (new mother board and power supply) on my iMac I heard a static or scratchy noise in the lower right side behind my screen while listening to iTunes the week after I got the machine back. Some songs(with more treble) were worse than others. My parents and I iChat every Sunday. The static now interferes with our iChats and the audio drops out and then will come back. They hear it more on their end than I do on mine. I tried turning the speakers way over to the left and that did help some when listening to iTunes, hulu but, not the iChat problem. My question is - do you suppose it is my speakers rather than another issue such as bandwidth or setting elsewhere? And if I were to buy external speakers would those then just amplify the existing issue? The computer on the other end is an iMac running snow leopard. Could it be that the microphone wasn't put back in correctly during my last repair?

Hi paperchase
That kind of sounds like the right internal speaker is bad or loose and the Internal Mic is picking up on the noise from it.
One thing to try before committing to a 2.0 or 2.1 External Speaker System, is to test the iMac's external output sound with iPod buds or a set of headphones. That at least will give you a better idea if the problem is with the right internal speaker or something worse like the sound card.
Likewise if the repair work was recent, then perhaps you should contact the service provider and report that it came back with an intermittent or rattling right speaker.

Audio drop out after burning to iDVD

I am running FCE 2 and checked all of my audio (mixed it down and everything). Plays well when I run FCE. When I burn the clips to iDVD, I notice that the audio drops out in certain scenes, and it's the same scenes. Ruined 5 dvds so far after trying to a few things.
I am using all internal HDs (Extended Journaled). Any suggested would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi
a. Audio from iTunes - has to be used by a work around
I do - create a Playlist in iTunes with needed audio
Burn out as an Audio-CD (.aiff) Not .mp3
Use this audio in Your FinalCut project
b. I do from FCE/P to iDVD
• Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
• Not selfcontained (not important but saves time and space)
• NO QUICKTIME Conversion (Important)
c. To get iDVD to run OK
• Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk ! (others of no importance)
• I use Verbatim DVDs
• DVD-R
• Burn speed set down to x4 or x1 (only relevant to newer iDVD)
(Instead download the Hack (Hurz and Pfurz) that makes it possibly to do a DiskImage with iDVD4
if earlier iDVD versions - forget this
then save as a DiskImage - test it with DVD-player tool and see that it runns OK
THEN do the actual DVD burn by using Disk Util tool from this DVD image You just did.
AND Here You can set down burn speed to x4 or x1.
• iDVD 4 disc image burning can be enabled through the patch Hurz and Pfurz - search the net.
Good luck Yours Bengt W

T410 audio drops out after 10 seconds

I have an issue whereby audio drops out on the internal speakers after 10-20 seconds. Adjusting volume or mute/unmute fixes things for another 5 seconds before audio drops out again. Headphones work fine from VGA port! Things I've tried without luck:
1. updating the sound driver
2. updating BIOS
3. reseating battery
4. disabled all enhancements in the speaker properties
5. disabled exclusive mode's "allow applications to take exclusive control of this device"
6. there are no "disabled" or "disconnected" devices in sound properties

A cold beer for whoever suggests the correct fix for this!

Does it happen in Safe Mode?
EDIT: Forgot Safe Mode has no audio. Try launching MSCONFIG and disabling stuff in the Startup tab, then rebooting. Or try a bootable Ubuntu LiveCD.

Audio drops out after burning to a disk.

I just finished my Final Cut Express project and used iDVD to burn it to a disk. Half way through the slide show, the audio drops out.
Is there a way to fix this?

Last week, this song played fine on the burned copy.
Is this problem now showing up in the iDVD preview mode? Or is it with subsequent burned DVD's?
Go back to your project in iDVD. Go to File>Save as disk image. This will create a file that can be viewed on your computer's DVD player. The disk image will show you how your project will appear when played on a standard DVD player. See if this problem is repeated. If everything is fine, go ahead and burn the DVD using Disk Utility.
I hope this helps.

Dropped Frames and Audio Drop Outs???

PowerMac G5 1.8GHz Mac OS 10.5.7 4GB RAM 250GB Hard Drive
Final Cut Express 4.0.1
Sony DCR-TRV310
When I attempt to do a direct capture via firewire I am only able to get one or two seconds of video before FCE complains that it has reached the end of the tape.
If I try to capture from the tape instead of direct it captures OK but the video blinks like it has dropped a frame and the audio is full of drop outs, pops and other noises. Those noises are not there when I listen to the tape directly on the camera.
Is my machine to slow?
I have tried several different firewire cables and all of the firewire ports. I have rebooted and made sure I have all the latest updates.
I also have a DCR0SR80 and a DCR-SR220 but neither of those have firewire however when I import the video into FCE (after converting formats) that video plays fine. I would really like to use the TRV310 though since I can capture directly.
Suggestions? Thanks.
- C. Thomas

I have a MacTopus (8-core) and also had one particularly bad video import. FCE 3.5 would complain and stop importing so often that I gave up and used iMovie to import the DV footage from the camera. Then I imported that footage into FCE. Apparently iMovie is not so picky and tends to ignore timecode info when importing. If the timecode info is not critical for you - try iMovie.

Video starts OK, then audio drops out -- really weird workaround!

Ever since the last iPod updater, several of my videos pause after 30 seconds, then continue without sound. Exiting the video (pressing menu) and returning gives another 30 seconds of play, then pause and audio dropout. This affects most but not all movies -- I can't find a pattern, because some identical movies (resolution, codex, etc.) have different behaviors.
I tried a reset and a restore. I restored with the latest iPod updater 2006-01-10, but, although all the songs and videos got erased, it didn't seem to return to a previous operating system -- after the restore, a new start on the iPod updater showed the "update" button still greyed out (it this normal?). That would lead me to believe, that the 2006-01-10 update was still in effect.
Anyway, I've discovered a VERY strange workaround. If I wait until the sound drops out and then hold down the rewind or forward key to make the movie skip to another spot, then suddenly the movie plays properly again! Sometimes I need to try this more than once, but eventually it works. The weirdest thing, is that once I've "repaired" the movie in this way, it plays properly even if I exit the movie, watch another movie, and then return to the first -- the "fix" seems to be permanent! How could that be? That implies that something defective, a preference or cache, was written over through this "repair". This sounds like a genuine bug, doesn't it? (Strangely, this "repair" does NOT work when pressing the middle button and "scrolling" to another spot).

How much free space is left on the hard drive?

Sync Issues and Audio Drop-out from FCP to DVD Studio Pro

I have edited a piece in FCP 5.1.4 and all audio/video is in perfect sync. I have been using this program for several years with no issues, until now. Upon exporting with compressor and importing into DVD Studio Pro, the audio is out of sync by 15 seconds and after that first 15 seconds there is simply NO audio, period.
Any ideas? Please send the calvary...tight deadline and the hanging rope is getting shorter and shorter by the minute!
Thanks

Could be something got corrupted in DVD SP (preferences). I have had my audio act strangely and playback getting bogged down. Repairing permissions and deleting prefs works for this one for me. Did you do any recent upgrades to the OS or QuickTime?

Help! Audio drops out after export

Hello
Whenever I export anything full quality from Final Cut, parts of the audio are lost. Could anyone help?
Thanks,
Max.

I had that problem frequently, mainly in FCE, and was told to try various renders and mixdowns on the audio until it finally works (haven't quite figured out why one works one time and not another).
I learned to look at the color bars (maybe not the right description) on the top of the tracks to make certain that my audio was mixed down completely, and now I don't get dropouts.
One more thing: when I played back without mixing down audio, I got a dropped frame message. This usually resulted in annoying pops in my soundtrack that I couldn't eradicate. I'm a lot more careful about rendering and mixdown, now.

Snow Leopard - Safari and Entourage 'drop out' after a period of inactivity

Ever since I loaded up 10.6 (and later 10.6.1), both Safari and Entourage get the beach ball when my system has been inactive for an hour or more (time based problem?). Doing resets, clearing caches etc. do not seem to have any effect. The only effective way to get Safari/Entourage back is to restart the system (I thought I had left this behind when I waved good bye to PCs). Sometimes it appears that running Network Diagnostics has cleared it but this is not absolutely reliable.
My ISP tells me the system is up/available and it can 'talk' to my modem and they imply that it is an Apple software problem. Apple imply my modem is on the blink but get me to push some keys and the problem 'temporarily' goes away until after the next period of inactivity.
Any help would be appreciated.

Have you considered using wicd? I use it on this computer, and have had no problems with it. However, to be fair, the packages on this pc haven't been updated for a LONG time, so it is possible that if i updated it, I'd have the same problem. You didn't mention a wireless connection daemon, so I thought that I'd ask.

Audio drops out Premiere cs6 + Red

Having an exceptionally annoying issue - the audio drops out after approx 2 seconds, the clip itself fine, pausing and continuing makes the audio play for an additional two seconds before dropping out. I'm using Premiere cs6 with scarlet footage and sync sound (both the original 41khz wavs and my own 48khz aif's exhibit same issue. Intel q9550 2.8ghz (quad), 8gb ram, gtx670, g-raid over esata.

Does the issue occur only with this media? Only in this project? Or is it more widespread?

Audio drops out while video continues to play just after making a cut!

I've been using Adobe Premiere Pro for a few months now and I use it to edit my YouTube gameplay videos. Here is everything I am doing in Adobe Pr:
1. Create new project
2. import my raw gameplay video (m2ts file)
3. import my wave sound file (my commentary)
4. Put them on the time line and play the video (it works then)
5. make a cut somewhere and the GAMEPLAY audio drops out not the video or my commentary.
The same thing happens in Adobe Premiere Elements as well. Should I convert my m2ts files to MP4 or AVI or something??? Please help

Go back to your project in iDVD. Go to File>Save as disk image. This will create a file that can be viewed on your computer's DVD player.

Audio drops out when following video to external monitor

When I play a sequence to an external monitor, the audio drops out for 2 to 3 seconds after changes on the video track, and then pops back in with no interuption in video output. It doesn't happen at every cut, but it's consistent in the places it does. I thought it might be caused by the size the project has become. So I exported the sequence as a quicktime file, closed the lage project, opened a new one and exported the new file and played it and it happened again, even though there were no edits. It doesn't occur at all when I turn off external video, and play it on the computer. I connected a new firewire from the computer to my DV deck, restarted the computer, but it keeps happening.
Is it that the dramatic change in color, light and compostion crowding out the audios ability to follow the video through the wire?
I'm completely stumped. The next step will be to open the computer and try to blow any excess dust out. I do this periodically anyway, and my last time was two months ago, so I'd be surprised if it works.
Maybe the G4 with 2G processing power can no longer handle the program, but it shows no sign of stuggle in any other way.
My clients are starting to grow restless.

Thank you so much X & Paul, for your suggestions. Although they didn't solve the problem, they kept me hopeful enough to continue my quest for an answer. After exhausting all effort to find the problem in the audio, I decided to focus on the video. So, I tried correcting the excess luma on the consolidated QT movie, and suddenly the problem was fixed. Because of the different levels of correction I'd need for each and every cut in the original sequence, and the precious time it would take, I'd planned to save it for the color correction stage, a mere 2 weeks away. I remembered how illegal white would often cause the image on some monitors, specifically consumer TVs, to waver for a second. But this was happening all the way back to the DV deck's audio meter, so I never expected it to be a luma issue.
I assume that the outdating capacity of my G4 played a part, but I wanted to write back with my thanks, and to impart my illuminated wisdom to the next perplexed soul.
Thanks again,
