I solved the issue. It was an audio codec thing. I’d output as AAC. When I tried it again as AAC2 and re-imported, it worked fine.

Thanks!

Neither. They are h264 files I output from Premiere, from a 720p project that has XDCAM footage (with MainConcept’s plugin on my system), h264 footage from a Cannon Vixia, some mini-DV footage, as well as TIFFs, JPGs, WAVs and MP3s.

The three files I’m showing in that timeline are all two-pass good looking 1280 x 720, 59.94 FPS files. The audio is in them, if I play them in Windows Media Player I can hear the audio all the way through, but no matter how I import them back into Premiere, I can only see and hear the first 30 seconds of audio on each one, and anything I output from them in any format the first 30 seconds of audio on each one. I do not have that problem with other file types, and everything else in premiere seems to be working. For instance, I can output DVD files and author a DVD in Encore and the audio is fine.

I’m buffaloed by this issue.

Thank you!

Thank you! I removed all unused before any outputting, but will try the second suggestion.

Everything’s on my computer’s one hard drive. I’m ordering an external drive today and will use that for media and renders. Someone said that might help.

Thank you!

I solved questions 3 and 4. Still can’t figure out the other ones.

Thank you!

To be clear, I did take Craig’s advice and drop the 100 bucks on the Calibrated Software plugin. That helped, so I could at least SEE and EDIT the XDCAM EX files on my PC. Thank you Craig!

We’re doing more filming with that camera. Would it be hard to change the setting to something Windows would play well with, that would be as high-rez?

Where on the camera would we change it? (we don’t have the manual.)

Thank you!
