Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro Sound partially missing in exported file

  • Sound partially missing in exported file

    Posted by Diana Kennedy on February 9, 2008 at 12:01 pm

    Hello!

    I have Adobe Premiere since not a too long time.
    I import AVi-Movie clips that have sound.
    After assembmling them in the timeline, I export them as avi (just too see the result, the final destination is for DVD.) But in the exported movie, some clips play without sounds. Even though in the previev of the timeline sound is all there. same problem when exporting to other formats. has anybody encountered this problem? Any solution or idea from what that comes?

    You are not going to like this but, I had the same situation about 2 months ago. I did advise the forum here and got alot of great ideas and feed back. Nothing worked.

    I had alot of footage shot from a few different people and one interview had the same audio problems that you discribe. Listening to it is PPro was fine but output to dvd had issues everytime. I tried reformating the track, outputs of every kind.

    Here is what I did. I could hear everythig just great through PPro so I set up my camera with a Lav mic in a perfectly quite room and played the video back on the computer were i could hear everything and re-recorded it into the camera & re-digitized it into the computer. It was clean and it was the best “work around” that i could come up with. The client kicking down the door was happy and so was i.

    Hi Chris,

    First, Thank you very much for your answer. Well, it does kind of “good” to hear that I am not alone.
    Did I understand right: After recording the whole audio separatly by playing the footage in the PPtimeline, you added the so obtained audio file to a new and extra audio track in the timeline and then it worked? This would mean that PP can only deal safely with “own” audio-tracks but not with sounds already embeded in the imported avis.

    I had guesses of that sort. If this is the cases, well, I think I can operate wirh a similar solution as yours. I must say that my project is a drawn cartoon movie, so I do not work with a camera. But I have the audio-files separatley.

    Nevertheless, I think it is a shame that one has to be “tricky” in order to make such a “sophisticated” programm working properly.

    Again, thanks for your reply!

    Diana

    Yes it is strange. There is a good bet though that because it is not wide spread that you and i have used some audio file that was not preped properly. I am an animator as well.

    Yes i just created a new Sequence and moved the video over to it and synced the new audio track to it. Now as you know once you do this the audio is on one track and you cannot edit single tracks.

    Good luck!

    Chris
