audio in timeline
I am new to Premiere Pro (I have version 7.0) and am having problems with the audio in the timeline. When I import clips into the storyboard the audio works great, but once I move the clip down to the timeline I loose all audio. Do I have to turn the audio track on or something? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ahead of time.

what kind of clips are you using?

These are .mpg files

MPG files are not Premiere’s favorite format – they’re generally heavily compressed and not intended for editing.
You may have better results if you convert your clips to AVI’s first. There is an MPEG-aware version of VirtualDub at:

Also, check your playback settings to see if audio playback is set to internal or external device.

Ah, yes – in re-reading your question, I think ringabinn is on the right track. Your playback settings may be set to output the audio to, for example, your DV/Firewire device. That would make the audio play through your camcorder or DV deck instead of your PC’s speakers.

Thank you for the ideas…but that didn’t work either. When I selected the option to show the wave form for audio down in the timeline it was flatlined…no audio at all. Again, when I play the clips up in the storyboard they work fine, it is only when I move them down to the timeline that I have problems. Thanks again for the time spent in searching for a solution.

If you drop an AVI or MOV onto your timeline, does the audio show up?

What kind of .mpg? Ppro 1 only handles mpeg1 files barely and you need quicktime installed, forget Mpeg2, divx, mpeg4, and mpg files with MP3 audio embedded.
