  audio issues

  Posted by Mike Albertini on October 28, 2011 at 3:19 pm

  Hi,

  I’m just encountering a few audio issues on cs5 on a mac. I usually use fcp and so have all my audio as aiff…

  So all my music i converted to aiff before import and left the dialogue which came with the avi video as it was…

  But I’m now encountering a drift in the audio – on all the dialogue tracks I can see the audio is now out of sync…I can of course just line it up again but would like to know why this is happening…

  This is being accompanied by clicks/drop outs in the sound all over the project which has gotten progressively worse during the past week…

  Before I start cleaning the audio for final output I would like to know the reasons for these issues and a solution, but also to convert the audio in the project to the best codec for use in premiere pro – Ive read thst the fact i have the audio in aiff could be part of the problem…

  I also need to pan the audio for some of the dialogue to the centre…It was recorded as stereo but is only coming out of the right channel – in fcp i simply pan the audio to the centre for each affected clip/sequence and it comes out of both channels

  I’ve tried using the audio mixer and panning to the centre for the tracks the dialogue is on but this isn’t having the desired effect – ie audio playing in both left and right channel…

  How can i pan the audio to the centre for individual clips or whole tracks as needed, so that audio which is coming out of one channel comes out of both?

  Any advice would be much appreciated

  Thanks,

  Mike

  Don’t think AVI’s are the best route when on a Mac…

  Hi chris,

  Thanks for the response…im only using premiere at client request – i usually use fcp – so would normally convert avi to prores before i start…

  I thought premiere could edit a multitude of codecs natively with no problems?…is aiff a problem in premiere too?…And which is the best codec to use in premiere pro cs5 on a mac if you’ve been given a ton of avi footage?…In this case my client wants both a video file and a copy of the project at the end to use on a pc version of cs5.5…

  Do you know why i have audio in premiere which is only playing out of the left speaker but when i take the same audio into fcp it plays out of both? – its set to stereo in both programs so not sure what thats all about…avi?

  And how do i simply pan the audio to the centre in ppro so it plays out of both speakers in premiere? Ive tried the pan in the audio mixer and it doesnt move audio to both channels as it would in fcp so I might have to duplicate the clip and add the swap channels filter to one clip and adjust volume as required…or export the section to fcp and import again when it will then miraculously have sound in both channels…

  Any advice would be much appreciated

  Thanks,

  Mike

  I am new to APP as well. Coming from FCP.
  In the browser, select the audio, “Control” click on the tracks and choose modify, choose mono.
  You have to do this b/4 they are in a sequence.
