Thank you Angelo. A submix worked very well. Also makes it easy to double up on the gain when boosting a weak signal!

Do you have a recommendation for dslr + separate stereo audio workflow to avoid this kind of trouble? Should I apply pan filters at the outset? Import as mono tracks? Use submixes?

Thanks

It is CS6.

Yep, I know. We had someone new on the project and here we are. I guess it was deleted by unlinking a stereo pair and deleting one of the channels. The channels are duplicates of course so we’re not missing anything we just need to pan the channel center.

The track is green and has a small L in the corner.

Thank you for your assistance 🙂

In case anyone else is having this problem, I received a useful response from Singular Software support pointing me to this information:

Workaround for Audio Extraction Failures (Premiere Pro)

We recommend you make a copy of the project first before following these steps.
Open the sequence to be synced in the timeline.
Select all the video clips in the sequence.
Choose the menu item Clip > Audio Options > Render and Replace
Sync with PluralEyes
Note that this will create new media files on disk (the extracted audio) and will replace the audio in the unsynced sequence with those.

Mike:

Really rocking summary of the problem. Let’s all submit a feature request.

I disagree about the severity of the problem though. This problem becomes so big so fast that it makes true collaborative editing very frustrating. In my office we might have three people on a project, all editing and revising segments and passing them back and forth. On FCP7 this was easy as pie – we’d just cut and paste between project files and use basic versioning best practices. In Premiere, our project files quickly become nightmares and work is often inadvertently deleted or lost.

I would like to see:
– Smart media handling when importing sequences and projects. Premiere should look at the filenames and file location and attempt to relink any duplicate media. If it stumbles, it should ask for help like FCP.
– A media consolidation inspection feature. I’d love to see an option for inspecting your project for duplicate media references. When found, Premiere should automatically consolidate.
– Streamlined sequence exporting. You should be able to export a single sequence.

Thank you for the response. I absolutely understand that you can’t accomodate every feature request in every release cycle. Clip bumping just seems so obvious and intuitive and was such a critical part of my workflow… but I forget that something like that might involve some rather complex development.

Thanks for all you guys do. I just want Premiere to become an industry standard editing platform and it’s getting pretty darn close!

Fixed the problem!

I had hardware assisted mercury playback enabled (CUDA) when I do not have a CUDA card. This is the default setting I guess. I changed it to software only in Project > Project Settings > General

WOO HOO! CS6 is screaming now.

I don’t have an answer.

But I responded because I too have this issue and am keen for a workaround. I posted a similar question here a few weeks ago and got no response. Hopefully someone knows!

My source material is prores.

I’ll get a ticket into Red Giant and see what they see. After digging around, I see more people with this problem. Seems crazy this bug has persisted for well over a year as far as I can tell.

My goodness how could they miss this one…

At least they fixed the scrolling in the timeline. Phew. Worth the upgrade for that feature alone.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the response. That works to reveal the text as if I were using a mask, but the rectangle disappears. Even duplicating the moving rectangle layer and placing it at the top of the comp doesn’t achieve the effect.

I accomplished what I was trying to do:

I did it by precomping the titles, then duplicating the movement of the large rectangle, setting it UNDER the silhouette/type comp, and setting the fill to purplish and opacity to fifty. I was trying to make the text pop over the background but still have a cool blending effect.

I’m new to AE – it just seems like there must be a better/simpler way? I’m going to need to do a bunch of these and I want it dialed in.

Thanks again 🙂
