  Re-Conforming and Audio Bug nightmares

  Posted by Lucas Werneck on January 15, 2014 at 5:28 am

  Hi,

  First, let me say that I’ve searched throughly about those problems before I came in here.

  I own a company and we used to use FCP7 to edit our weekly show.
  I’ve moved all suites to Premiere CC 7.2.1
  Our workflow is a bit different than before, since PP can handle original files, in our case .mts sony AVCHD FullHD from FS700, NX70 a Handycam and the MP4 from GoPro Hero3.

  Our main problems right now have been:

  Re-Conforming:
  I’ve searched about this and these are the possibles solutions
  – Turn the creation of XMP off
  – Disable XMP metadata linking
  – Direct the cache and database files to the same external harddisk that our media is in
  – Direct the scratch disk to the same Harddisk as the media.
  – Media been on a Network volume and Computer clock / daylight saving time shifting.
  – Before opening a project in a different machine, make sure to redirect (to find) the cache to the disk your using

  I must say everything above was tested and dealt with but still. We have seen projects re-conforming by it self everytime we open PP. It normaly happens when moving from computer to another one. But sometimes happens on the same machine, between two days apart, with nothing different.
  And the re-conforming takes a lot of time.

  Audio Bugs:
  Sometimes the waveform doesn’t show up. Now this has a workaround, just go to clip > audio options > re-render audio. But it’s annoying.
  And more serious sometimes we got an audio looping 1sec over and over, even though the original is perfect, trying to re-render doesn’t help. re-importing the clip doesn’t help. Only deleting ALL the preview files (because you can’t know which is which) that works.

  Is there anyone with solutions (definitive) for these problems?
  Regards

  Hi Lucas,

  Don’t know if this well help, but do you import using Adobe Media Browser? If just using File > Import, Premiere doesn’t get all the info it needs from metadata in folder structure of the media. Copy full contents of memory cards to hard drive and import with Media Browser for best results.

  Thanks
