    I have imported audio/video from too different cameras and music from my iTunes and it is all distorted even when its not clipping. Im looking for a solution?

    Welcome to the forum, Bryce. Here are some questions to help you troubleshoot the problem:

    File info:
    – What are the different file formats for the source files including codec, wrapper, sampling frequency, and bitrate? (e.g. “MP3 audio file, 44.1kHz, 320kbps, 2-channel stereo”) Software such as MediaInfo can help provide this information if you do not have it available otherwise.

    Verify whether the clips are good:
    – How does the audio sound when played in the cameras or in a separate device like a pod player or smartphone?

    Check the computer:
    – How does the audio sound when played with a media player such as VLC, QuickTime, or Windows Media Player?
    – Does other audio play on the computer without issue? If not, what is your audio setup?

    Check the software:
    – What version of Premiere Pro are you using?
    – Have you tried playing the problem clips in another Adobe application such as Audition or After Effects?
    – How do other (good) clips sound when played in the Premiere Pro Source Monitor or when inserted into your project timeline?

    Check the clips in Premiere Pro:
    – How does the audio sound when the problem clips are played in the Source Monitor?
    – What is the audio sampling frequency of your Premiere Pro timeline?
    – What do the audio waveforms look like when the problem clips are inserted into the timeline?
    – Have you applied any audio effects?
    – Are there multiple audio clips playing at the same time within the sequence?

    Please take a look at your post again. It states, “I have imported audio/video… it is all distorted… I’m looking for a solution.” It is difficult to find a solution without any information about the problem or what tactics you have tried to resolve the issue.
