Missing audio track on mpeg files
Hi. Could anyone advise on what to do when the audio track does not show on mpeg video files in PremierePro. The video has been recorded on Sony Handicam DCR-SX53 and when viewing the mpegs separately, the audio is there, it’s only in PremierePro it doesn’t show. I’ve found that if I convert the files to wmv files they work but this seems like a very laborious way about it. I’m a Media Studies teacher and not a particulary technical person so very basic layman’s advice would be much appreciated.

Hi Katja, I’m not 100% sure, but the audio may actually be there if say it has been recorded as a mono track rather than a sterio track.
When you create sequences in PP the default is to have STERIO audio tracks. So, if your audio is MONO, when you pull it into PP it looks as if it isn’t showing while in face, further down at the bottom of your sequence (and if your screen is like mine, then off screen) a new mono track is being added.
Pull the video in and then hit the space bar and see if the audio plays. If so, just scroll down the page a little and you will see the mono track at the bottom.
Otherwise, I don’t really know what may be happening!
Hope this helps
Andrew
