Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro Audio crossfades are rendering with distortion

  • Audio crossfades are rendering with distortion

    Posted by Caleb Mclaughlin on December 19, 2013 at 6:20 pm

    Hey guys.

    This is a very recent issue for me, and I wonder if it’s due to recent CC updates. When using “Constant Power” Crossfades on audio clips, they play back flawlessly in the timeline. Upon render, these crossfades become glitchy. This is true with or without “Maximum Render Quality” is checked. It’s true when rendering from AME or straight from Premiere. I’ve tried a few different formats too, all with the same results. My work around right now has to be keyframing the audio levels instead of using the transition.

    It seems only to happen when crossfading to silence (or, fading out). Not when crossfading to another clip.

    Anybody else having the same issue?

    Premiere Pro CC Version 7.2.0 (46)
    Mac OSX 10.7.5

    Thanks!

    Hi Caleb,

    We’re aware of this issue and should have a fix out very soon. Stand by.

    Have there been any updates on this? I’m running 7.2.1 and having the same problem with constant power transitions. Mine is only noticeable on exporting not rendering.

    The latest CC update took care of it for me. Not sure what the version number is.

    I’m on the latest update too but unfortunately still having the same problem. Found this post on the main adobe forum that talks about it:

    I have been experiencing the same problem. A strange jackhammering audio glitch when crossfading from silence.

    As a workaround until this problem is officially addressed, when I render out the audio separately as a wav, the soundtrack is rendered without glitches.

    So for the past few days I have been rendering out my audio and video separately, syncing it back together in a new sequence and rendering it again from there.

    This works if you are in a pinch, but this problem must be fixed.

    I’ve been having this problem for months now. Have to replace all my constant power fades with keyframes to render with no noise issues.

    2 computers, 2 separate software downloads (7.2.1), same issue. Killing me.

    A tech at Adobe spent a good while on the phone with me today and was able to fix the issue by going into my library and “recreating preference assets”. Basically he added “_old” after a few select folder names, forcing Premiere to create new ones, which solved the issue. Haven’t done much rendering since but I’ve had 3 successful tests so far.

    I asked the tech for instructions on how to do this on my end, but he said to call and ask for help doing it. That’s scary because I know if I call on this again I’ll have to start from square one with some poor Indian guy who will probably be confused as to what I mean and try to convince me to “create a guest user account”, “clean cache”, and all the other by the book stuff that never works…

    FYI my problem returned after one day. Word has it a new version of Premiere drops in a few days. I really, really hope they fix this ridiculous issue…

    I have Premiere Pro 7.1.2 and the problem is still not fixed. When will this be fixed?
