Voiceover on my source footage disappears when I render
I’m using AE to resize an HD clip with music and a voice over. However, every time I do this the voice over mysteriously is absent! The background music is still there though. Weird.
Has this ever happened to anyone else?
The source clip is ProRes 422. I’ve tried rendering it out to multiple formats but it’s the same every time. The music remains, but the VO is gone.2009 Intel MacPro

That is weird. The only time I’ve had similar issues is when the audio was actually in surround.
It’s only work if you’d rather be doing something else…

I don’t think it’s beyond possibility that the guy who edited the original video put the VO on a strange track or something. How did you solve your problem?

I can’t remember exactly offhand, but I think I ended up have to re-export the file using QT Pro with the correct (stereo) audio format.

I think Steve is onto something about the nature of the problem with the multi-channel audio suggestion.
However, rather than using QT Pro to mix down to stereo, you may need to preserve those additional channels for editorial. If this is the case, you can remove the video track from the original move in QT Pro and add your revised rendered video track back in, saving to a new file (so as not to overwrite the original).
Step by step:
- Open the original in QT Pro.
- Window > Show Movie Properties
- Select the video track and click the Delete button.
- Open the re-rendered clip in QT Pro.
- Select the video track and click the Extract button. This will create a new document with only a video track.
- Edit > Select all (in the new document)
- Edit > Copy (in the new document)
- Switch back to the original movie, making sure the playhead is on the first frame.
- Edit > Add to Movie
- File > Save As

Wanted to post the results of my problem. As suggested in this thread the voice over was indeed on an additional track. The guy used 5.1.

Thanks for the follow-up. It’s always nice to know how things turned out!
Cheers
