PP7 Sound Cutoff Problem
I’m working with a new install of PP7 on a fresh install of XP after a motherboard failure and replacement. Before the failure PP7 worked flawlessly. Now, when I render projects it cuts off the sound about 4 to 5 seconds before the end of the project. The video continues to be rendered, but not the audio. I’ve had to resort to extending my work area bar by 5 seconds just to get all the sound that I should be getting.
Is this a PP7 bug? Any suggestions?

After a new Windows install, make sure you reinstall newest factory drivers;
Sound Card
Video Card
Motherboard chipset drivers -
I did…latest and greatest of everything. What’s odd is, PP7 plays the film fine in the Monitor panel…plays it exactly as I have constructed it. It’s in the final rendered AVI file that the sound drop occurs.

If you used the same harddrive with previous loaded programs and drivers, the best way is to reformat and reload, gets rid of possible trouble causing files that reinstallations don’t.

Try exporting just the audio as a .wav (48 kz) file. If that plays fine Then turn off the audio tracks and export the video as mpeg for dvd…load both into Encore, author and burn.

I started 100% from scratch: brand new HD, brand new XP install, brand new PP7 install, etc…I didn’t want to risk registry nightmares…

Thanks; I could probably also leverage AE6.5 for a similar process. But I just hate workarounds when something worked perfectly before.

Now things are weirder. I can render the audio-only track to an AVI file, and it renders in full. When I checkmark the box to render video also, the audio cuts out about 5 seconds before the end of the resulting AVI file. AAUGGHHH!!!!!!

Version 7 had more than its share of bugs, but I dont recall this one. When the audio cuts out does it do that in Media player?

Yes. The AVI file is DEAD in the audio track. But, I did find a bit of a workaround. I rendered the video only, then rendered the audio only, then pulled the two into PP7 and rendered a finished product. Frustrating to have to do this, but at least it worked.
