  premiere generates audio cracks

  Posted by Jasper King on February 17, 2010 at 4:02 am

  I made a movie with premiere pro cs4, and discovered allot of cracks in it.

  The strange thing is, when i play the original dv pal avi video en listen to the audio track u cant hear any crack or pop sound in it.

  but when i load the avi into premiere and after it generates the peak file i can hear the cracks when i play the timelime.

  i also thought it had something to do with my audio drivers but when i look close to the wave file in the timeline, the cracks are really baked into the avi’s wave track.

  how do i get rid of this? and please be clear these cracks are NOT on the original video file.

  Here’s an example of a render where u can hear the audio stops every few seconds:

  I get the same with DV downconverted from HDV in a Sony V1U. Not sure where it comes from. If I log in small clips – 1 minute or so, and batch capure one clip at a time the problem generally goes away. Dont know if it is the Camera or the computer firewire port. Capturing the same video in HDV, the audio is beautiful. I have resorted to capturing in HDV and the opening those files in a DV project. I have never tried shooting in DV mode and then capturing that, ie eliminating the downconverting step at the time of capture. I dont want to accumulate any more DV footage though. I have also never tried capturing from another pure DV camera. Might do that.

  Now, I like small clips, but it means you need to babysit the system during batch capture.

  but i dont have the problem when capturing, that is no problem and as i said.. when i play the raw avi file the audio sounds good.

  and i dont record on hdv but on DV 16×9 PAL, i will go check if short captures also have the same problem.
  Because now i use avi files off 9/11 gb.
