OK, here’s the kicker. If you’ve watched both videos you’ll notice they both sound exactly alike, quality wise. So it must be this crappy video player that comes with Windows 10. So it’s not Media Encoder or Premiere Pro. Time to download VLC again.

Sorry to have wasted everybody’s time.

Here’s a comparison between the first “episode” of my Haunted Collector spoof and this new one. In Premiere Pro, the audio sounds as clear as the first video, but as you can hear, it’s all muddy and the volume is a lot lower in the second one once I encode it.

You don’t have to watch the whole videos. Just the intros will show you all you need to know.

It fails!!! Damn this f’in computer. It’s fast as lightning but only when it decides to cooperate. I spend too much time rebooting to get AME to stop failing. And now this crap.

How do you duplicate a “timeline”? Do you mean duplicate the sequence? If so I’ve already done that, plus saved the project with a different name. I’ve exported just that sequence (other sequences also have this problem), I’ve tried exporting as DNxHD and AME crashes. I’ve tried rebooting. It doesn’t make sense. When I play the sequence inside Premiere Pro it sounds great.

“What my video contains is only a still image, an animation and an mp3 or wav-file that is all”

So you’re not even using a source file from a camera? Just a still image? Where is the animation coming from? Are you creating it yourself?

Hey Dave! I think we went through this before. You use “timelines” and “sequences” interchangeably, I believe, but we’re talking about the same thing. But do you ever use “Make new sequence from Clip”? With my green screen stuff I do it all the time, so sometimes I’ll make one from an image, and the sequence ends up in there, or I’ll make one from a green screen clip, and the sequence ends up there.

Dragging it from where it is, to my sequence bin, is sometimes difficult, what with bins and sub-bins, so I would have to “copy” it and paste in the sequence bin, but if I then delete the original sequence, well, you know.

Anyway, that’s why I can’t create sequences as neatly as you do. I know you said you do green screen as well sometimes. Maybe you have a sequence creating technique you’d like to share.

Thanks Ann, but I could swear I didn’t need to be in the root before. Many times I’ll create a sequence from a clip or a still, next thing I know the sequences are all over, so I’ll right click the open sequence in the timeline to “Find sequence in project” and it will go to whatever bin it’s in, inside the project panel. Or maybe I’m hallucinating.

btw I did what you said and, yes, it does open inside the project panel, but…. 😉

Thanks, Dave. It appears I’ve been duped!!! Which is NOT short for duplicated!!! 😉

So does an mp4 file. I thought mux was a totally uncompressed file which, if I misunderstood you properly takes no time to transcode. So your “muxing” method is only to combine audio and video into one file?

[Duke Sweden]

I have ffmpeg properly installed. Still figuring out how to mux a file named, say “hello.mp4” (or hello.mov, for that matter). I typed in your command ffmpeg -i video.264 -i audio.ac3 -vcodec copy -acodec copy muxed.mp4 and I get, in red, video.264: No such file or directory.

What would be the proper syntax? Also, if I have a folder with 100034.mov to 100045.mov, how would I mux the entire folder?
