Thanks for the response! I’ll look into using CC 2015 again.

Yes, I’m pretty sure it’s a premiere/adobe bug. The clips play fine with complete audio when I preview with the spacebar, open in quicktime or VLC. I can also extract the full audio after I upload the original clip to youtube. Premiere and Media Encoder are the only programs that clip the audio (although I haven’t tried importing into Audition or After Effects, I’m assuming the results would be similar since they’re all Adobe 2017 programs but I’ll test it out).

This still happens every once in a while with other files (like mts or mov), that’s how I learned about cleaning out my cache and re-importing. But I have noticed it happens more frequently with clips I download from my PS4. I may just try to capture footage differently if I can’t solve this, which would be a shame since it’s so convenient, but editors aren’t used to convenience anyway, right? 🙂
