  • CS4 – MP4 Video – Audio Popping

    Posted by Carl Sollenberger on August 26, 2010 at 5:54 am

    I don’t understand…
    The audio sounds great straight off the camera in my headphones – nice and clean. I also played the audio in to a mixing board out of the camera and it sounds great, so the actual audio is fine.
    When I work with the clips in Premier & After Effects CS4 it is loaded with popping. Not clipping – popping.

    I recorded in 1080i MP4 (not .mov)with my JVC HM700u.
    My comps and seq in both premier are set up correctly I think….

    Premier Template:
    1080i 60 in XDCAM HD ( audio at 48kz )

    After Effects:audio is set to 48kz as well.

    I tried to use every different sample rate in premier just to see what would happen and it all popped real bad still.

    Again – it sounds great off the camera.

    The clips will not play back in QT player and in windows 7 player the vid plays but audio wont play back….

    Thank you

    I presume you’ve rendered the audio file before playback and that made no difference.

    If you still have problems after trying this try converting it to a more Premiere friendly editing format like WAV using Media Encoder. (If Premiere can play the sound ME should also)

    I suppose we should all remember that MP4 is heavily compressed and Premiere CS4 has a whole load of stuff going on in the background not least attempting to marry up all the ProcessCoordinatorServerthingmajigs. Chucking MP4 at it probably doesn’t help.

    This may seem arduous but try it anyway. Try a small portion of the audio to your satisfaction before you waste a shed load of time batching it all.

    Will do. Thanks for the suggestions!
    I’ll report back how it goes – especially if there is a solution so others can get help if they need it.

    well i found the solution….
    Update the software.
    My production machine never goes on line and I thought I might see if updates would help – they did… Problem solved
