  • Premiere CS4 is only encoding half of the audio!

    Ok, I’m basically stuck here.

    I export my sequence to Media Encoder and the final encoded video has audio for the first half but then abruptly cuts out and there’s only silence after that.

    The audio works and sounds fine in the Premiere project. It is mainly audio that was recorded with the video clips but there are also some unlinked music tracks as well.

    I tried re-encoding, restarting the computer and then re-encoding, and nesting the sequence within a new sequence and then re-encoding. The problem still persists though.

    This problem is especially confusing because this is the third and final video to be exported from the project and the first two videos exported and encoded perfectly fine without any audio problems.

    So, I’m really confused and frustrated with this issue. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Were you able to fix it? Any ideas, solutions, or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

    I am currently experiencing the exact same problem. All of our audio plays correctly in the Premiere Pro CS4.1 timeline, but when the sequence is exported, only the first half of the sound is present.

    This occurs using any format, even exporting audio only. All formats generate only the first half of the project’s audio. The full clip is generated, but the last half of the audio clip is silence.

    There are no format differences from the first half to the last half of the project.

    Is the a length issue? The current project is 62 minutes long.

    The only current work around is to export the first half, and then export the second half, and then create two timelines for the DVD (which is not a good solution, because you can’t ff/rw over the break point, and there is also a stutter-pop when the DVD goes from the first half to the second).

    Anyone with any knowledge of a solution, please let us know!

    Thanks.
