Where has my audio gone?

[Graham Bernard]

I’ve had this recently. May NOT be the same for you. You’ve done the exact same testing as I.

Ok, what VP are you using? Does Trimmer give you audio?

I using Vegas pro 10 64 bit. The only unusual thing about this project is that I have fade to color envelope on it. This appears to be working. If I knew just how to delete it I could easily leave it off.

I have just tried using the trimmer as you suggested with a clip dragged from project media & this had audio.

I have also copied the entire project & pasted it into a new instance of Vegas & this appears to have the audio. One strange suspicious thing is that the new instance doesn’t have the fade to color envelope line across the clips.

I would also like to know if its possible to make every clip on the timeline be set to match the ‘output aspect ratio’. Can this be done to all clips at once.

Thanks in advance

This is sounding, no pun intended, very familiar.

By testing Trimmer it is definitely a very very localised issue with THAT project. This is one of the most difficult errors to track down.

I want to do some testing here before I say more.

Cheers

Paul? What is your Audio Device in VP10 Preferences? It’s the 2nd Audio Tab – Audio Device? What’s the device you have selected? And is it correct?

Exactly what do you mean by audio devices? If its in options>preferences>audio device then that area gives you 3 choices. I have just tried all 3 again & I still can’t hear the audio. Which option should I be using? The new instance that I opened has Microsoft classic wave driver selected & that works in that instance.

Thanks in advance

You wouldn’t have your “Master” Fader Muted would you? Try the Mixing Console “Master” too.

Thanks once again for the suggestions about the fader’s but once again this didn’t fix the problem.

I have even copied the audio out of the second instance of the Vegas project that did have audio & tried pasting it back into the main problem project. Still no audio.

At this stage I think that I can save a lot of time both yours & mine if I just stick with the second instance version of the project as it was almost finished.

If its possible to make every clip on the timeline be set to match the ‘output aspect ratio’ I could render out the project in minutes. Please let me know if this is possible. I will be interested to see how the Blu-ray version of this works out.

A few years ago I went to China with a group & I ended up making a SD DVD of a 40 minute file make entirely out of still photo’s with music added. I needed to put this onto a dual layer disk because I had both a 4×3 & 16×9 version on the same disk. Since the disk still had room left over I added an extra folder with contained all of the original media as well as the Veg file & DAR file. So it was very quick to set the project up for Blu-ray. Its a pity that extras can’t be added to the Blu-rays as well. The closest that you might come if your project wasn’t too large would be to just add your original clips to end of main file.

I think that I should just write off this experience as being the ‘perversity of inanimate objects’.

Thanks in advance
