Wierd: Noisy audio tracks on firewire but fine on inernal drive ?!?!?

When recording audio on a brand new high performance tested external firewire drive I am getting very nasty digital noise. But, when recording audio on internal drive everything is fine.

Two identical audio tracks, identical waveforms, BUT non-sync playback!

Hi all - I've been up all night trying to figure this one out... I've shot a video on XDCAM, edited using the native codec in FCP 6.06, graded in Color and sent back to FCP as ProRes 422 (HQ).
Now, here's the weird one - the original unmixed soundtracks have remained in sync with the graded video, but the mixed track from the sound studio gradually drifts out of sync by about 15 frames after 10 minutes of playback. I figured it was just a sample-rate mismatch but all tracks checked out and are all 48KHz - even the graphical waveforms are visually a frame-perfect match. Then I figured it could be hard disc speed or an issue with the Blackmagic card - but an export to DVD via Compressor also produced a disc where the audio gradually slipped out of sync so I've pretty much ruled out hardware.
The only difference I can see in FCP is the sequences are '32-bit floating point' and the 48KHz .wav mixes are '16-bit integer'... I've tried changing the sequence settings but the audio still drifts.
Any guidance would be much appreciated... this thing isn't giving me any more clues to work with!
Cheers,
Tom

Thank you for your solution! I just ran into a similar problem. A friend of mine cleaned up some audio for me in his studio, and he gave me 96KHz WAV files. I put the WAV clips into the timeline, and lined up the visible waveform, exactly to the frame (I found a very distinctive click on one frame near the end of the clip). But the WAV audio gradually drifts, so at the end of about one hour of video, the WAV audio sounds about 60 frames late! I can see that distinctive click in the waveform, but I hear that click 60 frames later! Even when I delete the video and the original audio, so only the WAV file is playing, the sound of the audio drifts out of sync with the visible waveforms. Very strange...
I will try your solution of running the WAV through Compressor to produce an AIFF, and I'll let you know what happens. - Seth Hill

I am loading a video into Photoshop CC but getting no audio track

When I load an mov or mp4 file into my photoshop CC installation. I get no audio track showing up.
When I add the video as a wmv file, an audio track shows up, but the video pixels go to transparent as soon as I click the Play button (and I can hear no sound, although there appears to be a track playing). Nothing is muted.
Please advise.
Thank you.

Thanks. I realize I could use other software I but my question has to do with Photoshop CC. Details on the video files will make a difference to the answer? How so?

Audio track panning issue

I seem to be having an issue with certain projects that when adding vocals the there is only sound to the right speaker.
I tried reconnecting my Mic Set up incase it was that. This has happened before and it seems to occur when I used the ES2,
its like the more production I do on a song the more likely this is to happen.
Its clear from the Audio clip (below) that the wave forms are all only evident on the upper part, below is blank.
Il attach a screen shot so maybe you can tell from that where Im going wrong.
Thanks guys, any help is really appreciated!!

Hey, Ive tried testing the levels and your right it is only showing activity on one side. Im really poor at the technical side of things and particularly inputs, stereo etc so Im really lost. I just presumed I should always select stereo when creating an audio track for vocals, clearly thats not always right?? I mean as far as Im aware I always select Stereo on audio tracks for vocals but dont always have this issue.
So Ive created an audio track now, as mono and that seems to be working fine. Sorry about my ignorance on this, I appreciate your help. I guess those vocal takes will have to be re-done as they cannot be fixed, its only a new project so I dont mind. What you've thought me here is really helpful mate

Choose different audio tracks in PE10 full version possible?!

Oky, I have tested this with Adobe PE10, but WHERE do I choose which audio track I want to import/use in the timeline?! Where can I see if the clip has more than 1 stream in Adobe Premiere Elements 10? I have tried looking in settings etc., but no luck. I KNOW that my video got 4 different audio tracks in it, but when I add the media to Adobe PE10 (it's a .m2ts-format file), only 1 stream (the DEFAULT audio stream, which is the WRONG stream) is what I get. Where are the other 3 audio streams, and how can I use them? It's nothing special about the clip itself. I can play the audio and video in the timeline, it just got the wrong audio stream...
I am asking because I see many articles/posts that mention you can do this in PE10, but I don't understand where... So far I have yet to find ANY video editing software that supports this.
And converting the audio FROM the .m2ts-file using a 3rd-party program is out of the question as well. If it does not work with PE10, then I have to find another solution, I suppose.

You do not have the option of choosing between the main track and the dub track from a video clip in Premiere Elements, Goodie. You just get the main track. So if that's what you're talking about, you'll need to look elsewhere. Though I'm not sure where because I don't know ANY video software that does this. What makes you think it's even available?
The exception is when you're shooting in 5.1 audio in AVCHD. If you've set your project up for 5.1 audio, you can control the level of each of the five tracks independently.

Different Audio Tracks when you import DVD VOB Files

I imported some vob files from a dvd and it only gives me the first audio track in premiere but i need the 2nd audio track. How do i tell premiere i only want the 2nd track?

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
Colin Brougham wrote:
... would like to know for the future how to resolve this issue.
If there is no way to get the 2nd audio track then i would consider that to be a bug that hopefully Adobe can fix in next patch.
Ideally when you import a vob fileset premiere should automatically drop all the audio tracks into the timeline, not just the first one.
Don't use a DVD, plain and simple. The fact that we can edit this stuff at all is just a handy shortcut that works most of the time. I suspect that, given the nature of the material and the far greater precedence for native editing of professional camera sources, this is about as good as its going to get. You can certainly report it as a bug (which its not) or request it as a feature, but I sincerely doubt that this would be given a great deal of priority.
I'm not saying this just to be a jerky naysayer: the fact is that there is limited time and resources that go into development of each point release and each full version, and the things that benefit the most people have the greater likelihood of being fixed or included. I'd be surprised if even 1% of Premiere users needed this functionality. Believe me--I've wanted dozens of things that I know won't ever make it into the program, simply because they won't benefit many people. But make a feature request and see what happens...
wow?? what a terrible, mean, and unnecessary negative response? "jerky naysayer" ?? never heard that term, but it sounds accurate.
Thats like walking up to someone and saying "i dont mean to be cruel, but your fat and ugly"
anyways, not sure what your point is, other than you have a crystal ball that tells you less than 1% of the premiere users in the world ever need to grab a b-roll from a dvd and i think i could find plenty of people who would disagree with you. I have been doing digital video editing for 20 years and been using premiere for about 15 years now i think since it first came out. I work at a tv station with lots of other video editors and we have all needed to pull a clips off dvd's many times in our lives. Im sorry that i dont have an XDCAM HD video tape of the first moon launch to capture, so for now i have to grab a clip from a dvd.
Thanks for your attempted "help" but i'd rather you not hiijack my thread by negating my questions and requests. My company has purchased probably over a million dollars in adobe software licenses over the years and there is nothing wrong with my opinions and requests.
thanks

Audio selection in Cs5.5 Encore auto plays rather then just changes audio track

I am an Encore newbie after moving from DVD SP to Encore for blu ray menu authoring. Ive read and re-read the help files and they seem to be the same for Encore versions going back to at least cs3 for this issue ... so i must be doing something wrong or Encore just cannot do a very basic thing...
I am building a blu-ray with a singel video track and 2 audio tracks. I am trying to link a menu to allow a user to select a 5.1 or 2ch version of audio for a feature film. All shoudl be straightforward. i have a menu with several buttons. Each button links to an audio track in my timeline.
However, when i test my links, instead of just changing the audio and returning to the menu (as per the instructions in the help files ), the film plays from the beginning.
The correct audio track is played, but that is not my intention at that point. I want the user to choose the audio track and then allow the user to press another play button or go to another menu and back again before the film starts.
So how do i just change the audio track but not play it there and then ?
The help says use 'specify link' so i choose that option and select the timeline, yes, select the audio track 1 or 2, yes. But there is no different way to do this if i actually wanted to play the track at that time as well. What is the fundemental bit i am missing here ? Something to do with button type or some werid overide setting i am missing ? Can Encore actually do this ? its rather frustrating having come from using DVD SP which allows you to script everything and set gprm/sprm registers, to a program that does not seem to allow you to do anything beyond very very basic authoring.
Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

To return to menu after changing the audio or any subtitle track, you should select the desired menu in the Specify Link option and change the audio and subtitle accordingly.
In the example above, what I have done is, I went to the Specify Link, chose the menu as the target and also changed the audio track there and clicked OK
So here, after pressing Button 3 (Item 3), I would return to the menu and my aduio would be reset to audio track 2.
After that, whatever timeline I play, that would be played with audio track 2.
That is just a small example to show how it is done. Set the navigation as you like.

QT H.264 files with two audio tracks. Quicktime plays 2nd track first. ***?

I've been experimenting with H.264 (AVC) and my DVDs. Using Handbrake, I ripped a DVD to MP4 (H.264) and including the director's commentary as the second track.
When I play the MP4 with Quicktime Player, it plays the director's commentary instead of the main soundtrack. VLC, however, correctly plays the first track (main movie audio track) and it allows me to select the second track via a menu.
To get Quicktime to play the proper track, I have to open "Movie Properties" and manually uncheck the second track. This was never a problem with DivX/XviD encoded files with two audio tracks; Quicktime Player correctly played the first track.
Why does Quicktime ignore the first audio track in MP4s (but not AVIs) and is there a way to correct this?

I do have QT Pro.
H.264 files are usually saved in a MP4 container. That's what Handbrake, ffpegX, and D-Vision create, anyway.
The "Choose Language" option is greyed out (unavailable) when I open this H.264 MP4 in Quicktime. If I try to change the settings in "Movie Properties," it says that I must save it with the .MOV file suffix.
It makes no sense to me that Quicktime Player can correctly identify the main audio soundtrack in a XviD file with an AVI container but not in a H.264 video with a MP4 container which Apple has been touting as the latest, greatest thing. Even VLC, an open source product still in beta, gets it right.

Change order of audio tracks

In the manual it says that the order of audio tracks can be changed by simply dragging an audio track to its new position in the list. But that doesn't work for me.
I tried it in two representations of the audio tracks list:
1. If you open the slide show, there is an area labeled "slide show options" to the right of the slides. Within that area there is a list of audio tracks
2. The settings of the slide show has three tabs: "Standard", "Transition" and "Audio". On the "Audio" tab the same list of audio tracks appears.
But I cannot change the order in either of those lists.
Now when I want to insert a track at a certain position, it is not possible. I have to delete all tracks following my desired insertion point from the list. hen add the new track on top of the list, and then add all other tracks again.
Am I doing something wrong here?
Best regards,

FCP 4.5 Sequence w/ No Audio Tracks

How can I create a sequence with no audio tracks? When I try to delete the audio tracks, I get an error message saying "Deleting all tracks is not permited."
Any help? Thanks

I'm getting the feeling that people are confused with what my goal is. In the timeline window, I want there to be NO audio tracks.< </div>
I understand. You're not grasping the answer.

Instead of saying A1, A2, etc, there would be NOTHING. < </div>
You can't. Period. You can reduce the number of audio tracks to one but no fewer. You can create a preset, a default empty sequence, to open with only one audio track. But you cannot delete all audio tracks. Can't be done.

Hi, I trimmed an audio regin in the audio track edior with "Snap Edits to Zero Crossings" on. But I zoom in.the waveform was not ended at Zero point. Why? In the audio file editork, "Snap Edits to Zero Crossings" option works fine.

Hi,

But I zoom in、the waveform was not ended at Zero point.
Why?
In the audio file editork, "Snap Edits to Zero Crossings" option works fine.

correction needs to be made to step #14, I typed:
14) Point to the start or end one of the clips, when you see the icon showing arrows going either way, right click and drag your clips to roughly match up with the timeline selection, then zoom in further and adjust the clip start and end points to match up exactly with the timeline selection start and endpoints.
Here is the correction, THE CORRECTED PARTS ARE CAPITALIZED:
14) Point to the start or end OF one of the clips, when you see the icon showing arrows going either way, LEFT-CLICK and drag your clips to roughly match up with the timeline selection, then zoom in further and adjust the clip start and end points to match up exactly with the timeline selection's start and end points.
Another Correction:
Originally read:
Addendum: IF you have 2 files selected and click "Edit" to go to Edit view, it will give you the file of the clip you selected first, not 2nd. You must then go back to MT view, de-select the clip you selected first, then de-select the clip you want to edit, then RE-select the clip you want to edit.

Audio drops out during editing - but fine when shared as a final video

On my most current project, the audio track (from the recorded video interview) started dropping out/stuttering. When project is rendered, the audio is fine, but this is annoying while trying to edit. Any thoughts? PE 8 recording in HD.

M-audio firewire 410 audio track problem....

Hi there, I am a newbie to Logic Express 7. Step up from Garageband they said - it's easy they said... yeah right!
My problem is this - I bought a firewire 410 to use with LE7. Firewire 410 has 4 inputs. LE7 will only let me create 4 audio tracks. If I try to create more, it just "mirrors" an existing audio track, making it unusable. In garageband, using just 1 input (line in) I could layer up as many audio tracks as I liked. Now, after spending all this money (the quality is better, but) I have what amounts to a 4-track recorder! I am probably just being dumb, I mean that can't be true, can it? Anyone else had this problem?
thanks in advance for putting me out of my misery...

I found the answer! Create multiple.. in the track sub-menu. This creates new audio objects as well as tracks. Problem solved.

No audio through HDMI cable when listening to audio tracks but ok with vids

Please Help!!
Ok I hooked up my HP to my Samsung 1080p hdtv through an HDMI cable. My computer displays fine on the TV, the visualizer in ITunes shows just fine, but the audio only comes out of the speakers on my laptop when playing a regular music track. When it plays one of the bonus music videos on the same album, audio and video both play. When I play the songs in any other interface, ie windows media player and HP quick play, audio tracks play fine through HDMI. So this has to be something with ITunes. Anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks!

Wouldn't you know it, just figured it out. You have to make sure that itunes is not loaded before hooking up the HDMI cable. So,
turn off itunes,
hook up the HDMI cable,
(go to sound [control panel] and make sure that HDMI has the checkmark next to it),
load itunes,
enjoy.

Audio track will not record - picture is fine PE9

PE9 audio track will not record. Tried in several projects - audio gets through to computer - but the audio is not being recorded. Help please.

Hi ATR
Was transferring a client's DVD-R into my Adobe PE9 to do some editing requested by client.
The audio from the DVD was coming through clearly on my computer speakers but when I finished tranferring I stopped recording and discovered the video track was fine but there was no audio track.
Tried recording said DVD into some of my other files on PE9 but same thing.
Since posting my cry for help I uninstalled PE9 and reinstalled it.
This appears to have fixed the problem as I am now transferring client's DVD-R once again.
A quick check after a few minutes revealed the audio track is now being recorded with no problems!
Thanks for your interest.
Kind regards
David
