Weird Timeline Playback Audio Fade-in Issue
I have this issue cropping up on different projects- not all.
When I hit the spacebar to start playback in the timeline, it take about a second for the audio to come up to full level. There’s no fades or effects in the clip, but it happens every time I start playback anywhere in the clip in the timeline. It does not happen during playback of the same clip in the browser window.
Any ideas?

How are you monitoring the audio? Ie through an i/o card or direct Mac to speakers.

This is a reported bug that occurs after a cross fade, whether it be audio or a dissolve. If there is a fade on the audio earlier in the clip, you’ll hear it at any point after when you start playback. It doesn’t occur on output. You don’t have any cross fades on the audio before the point you’re starting playback?

Bret…that’s 100% the issue…if i remove the audio crossfade at the beginning of the clip, the issue is resolved and the audio plays normally throughout.
I havent noticed this happening before…any reason to cause it or a solution to fix?

It’s just a bug introduced with 10.3.3. Completely recreatable. Report it. Nothing you can do. But the saving grace is that it doesn’t occur on exports.

One possible work around is to create the initial audio cross dissolve effect using keyframes on the waveform (Option K) as opposed to the cross dissolve transition. That doesnt seem to bring out the bug.

Good to know. But as long as it just occurs on playback, it’s just a nuisance for me. I suppose if your cross fades were fairly long it would get annoying.
