  • PPro CS5 Mac Audio Playback issues

    Posted by Nick Passick on January 6, 2012 at 1:41 am

    I’m having playback issues from inside program, exports are perfectly fine. The issues are audio cutting in and out or it will playing random parts of the track further in the timeline. i.e. it will start fine then another section of the song will cut in for what seems a random amount of time then go back to normal. There’s no consistency in where it jumps to or when it happens. The problem also seems to be only with music tracks, camera audio and .wav’s from a recording device play fine. Being an FCP user for sometime I’ve seen some bizarre things but not like this.

    Audio is a 48kHz aiff converted from a 44.1kHz mp3. I’ve also tried wav and the original mp3. Not sure if it matters but the video is a mixed bag of 5D, 60D and 7D all in it’s native h264 mov format. Normally in FCP I would convert to ProRes due to the fact that FCP chokes on h264 but the video edits fine and I’m pretty sure it’s not interfering with the audio.

    I also use a USB sound card and someone once told me that could be my issue. Since I dont need 5.1 for these projects, I swapped to Line Out with no luck. The first few hours it was a vast improvement but am back to normal. I’ll also note I’m not using FCP for these projects as the client uses premiere on the windows side, where they finish color, etc…

    Thanks in advance for help/advice.

    This may be what I’ve needed to think about Ben, thanks. I’ll update now. I only use premiere for this client and haven’t even thought about any updates that might have come out.
