Audio wildly distorted after importing to Adobe Premiere Pro CS4
I recently did a shoot with audio inputs to the camera. I am shooting XDCAM ex 50i on a JVC pro camcorder. Channel 1 was a line level source and channel 2 was a mic level source. When I imported the clips into CS4, the audio was wildly over modulated and distorted on both channels. I had monitored the recording with headphones and constantly checked the vu levels and everything was fine.
I can play the clips in Windows Media Player classic and the audio is fine so I assume there is something funny going with the importing of the clips or the conforming of the clips that Premiere does before you can edit the clip.
I can’t edit the files on FCP 7 as I would like as it can’t handle the format so I am stuck working on this out-dated version of Premiere.
My sequence settings are Songy XDCAM HD EX 1080i (SP) I have also tried the 9(hq) version and the same thing happens.
Any insight would be appreciated.

Hi Steve,
When you import the clips, what audio tracks are the audio dropping onto? I would ensure that the two audio tracks are going onto separate mono tracks. I should think if the sequence is trying to interpret the two channels as L/R stereo, then it will sound pretty bad!

Are you switching between 44.1 and 48Khz? I’ve had some odd sounding audio because of this – not playing back at a different speed but like some really bad timestretch. I think I fixed it by deleting some render files.
Good luckPaddy, CreativeMedia.org.uk
