Half of The Audio Is Lost!!?

[Chris Tompkins]

And you confirmed it’s the actual audio missing and not just a re-draw issue with the wave forms?

Reboot?
Re-import?

I rebooted, re-imported, tried difference sequence settings but to no avail

And yes the audio is missing, after seconds of playback it goes out of sync and dies halfway as shown in the waveform!

Open the clip in After Effects or Audition and export a new .wav. Sync it, lock it and back to work.

I thought of doing that, only problem is that I have over 3500 videos!..its a documentary shot over 15 days.

I Just found out a solution, when I import the rushes from the external hard drive they work just fine. I was importing from the internal harddisk. what could the problem be exactly?

You haven’t said what format the videos are. Most new tapeless formats use complicated file structures, and those file folders must all be kept intact when moving data from camera card to hard drive.

If you just “dig down” and find the video file, it may not operate properly on its own without other supporting files. It is also good in this case to use the Browser in Premiere for importing these kinds of files.

I had the same thing a couple of months ago:

Like you I found a way round but I wish I knew what had caused it..

If using windows, go to “C:\Users\’Your User Here’\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\”,
then erase both “Media Cache Files” and “Media Cache” content. Open your project,
premiere will conform the files again, with correct audio this time.
It worked for me.

Thanks Vagner – that easy fix worked for me!

Well i don’t know if this helps.
But i faced a similar problem when i was trying to import an audio file (.mpeg format). All i had to do was change the format of the file. I changed the format to .mp3 and it worked! So, I’m glad if it helps in any way.

Thank You
