Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro Audio cuts out randomly

  • Audio cuts out randomly

    Posted by Rory Orear on October 17, 2013 at 8:38 pm

    I know others have had this problem, and have found solutions. I have tried all the posted solutions in the previous thread and nothing worked (https://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/3/935974).

    Basically, the issue is that about 20-30 seconds into my project, the audio starts randomly cutting out and I have to hit stop/play for it to start. Then it plays for about 5 seconds and cuts out again. Basically making the project un-editable (especially since it’s a music video).

    The only things that fix it are: rendering the entire sequence, including audio and video. Of course this is impractical since I would have to constantly be rendering in order to avoid the issue. The other thing that fixes is is starting a new sequence and copy/pasting everything into it. This only works for about 1-2 playthroughs though and then the problem comes back 100%.

    Please don’t post any solutions from the original thread on this as, like I said, I have tried everything mentioned in there and nothing has worked.

    I am on a deadline and am just about to completely abandon Premiere, as this issue is crippling my project! Help! I have edited other projects in Premiere exactly the same way and have never had any issues with audio until now!

    I am editing on:
    iMac 3.4ghz i7
    8gb 1600 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB
    1TB Fusion Drive, with 484 GB free.

    with Adobe Premiere CS 6.0, using Mercury Playback Engine with CUDA support enabled.

    All of my project files, media cache, etc. are currently on my fusion drive. The media itself is on a USB 3.0 external drive.

    I’d suggest you close Premiere, manually delete the media in your cache folder, then relaunch, open your project, and allow Premiere to re-conform audio.

    What do you mean by “re-conform”?

    What I just did is delete the media cache and then remove the song from the sequence, and lay it back in. Seemed to make the problem go away momentarily, but now it’s back as ever.
