Looks like compression blocking. What codec are you using for previews, and have you tried any other(s)?

Actually, the Bitrate Settings is cut off, and that’s the section we need to see.

I have been! And yes, I’ve seen the spattering of complaints, but not the full-on torch burning riots as with previous updates. I too have been caught by the ‘don’t open old projects with this version’ bug. Unfortunately, this isn’t possible with our, and I would suspect many other’s workflow. There literally isn’t a single moment where we only have a single project going on where we can finish it up, update the software, then start the next project. We consistently have 3 – 6 projects live, and we’re a one machine house. I’d sworn off updating this time until the bug fix was issued, and beta tested by the customer base. I was wondering if the comparatively small amount of complaints was because everyone was at NAB, and hadn’t actually updated yet.

Cameras recording to cards formatted with the FAT32 file spec have a file size limit of 4GB. After writing 4GB worth of data, it starts a new file, but adds info to show that the 2nd file is a continuation of the clip. Once the 2nd file reaches 4GB, it starts another. In the OS, it appears that each file is a duplicate of the one before, but this is just the ‘spanning’ mechanism at work. If you play file number 3, you’re actually playing the entire video clip, not just File 3.

They sure do make it hard to keep from updating, but the last 3 major updates kept me troubleshooting bugs for weeks until the fixes were released. If Adobe paid me to test their software, I’d be more inclined to update quickly.

There is no ‘Dynamic Link’ between Premiere and Audition. There is ‘Render and Replace’. If you perform this on a video clip, Premiere exports an audio file and replaces the video clip’s embedded audio on the timeline. During ‘Render and Replace’, Audition does not create a ‘project file'(.sesx), it simply creates a new audio file.
The video clip itself hasn’t been changed, or moved. By default, Audition saves the newly created audio file alongside the video clip it was created from.
Nothing is ‘happening’ to the original source files, they are exactly where they were before, and haven’t been changed. You now have a new audio file – WAV for Windows and AIFF for Mac, I believe.

With Premiere, you are not editing source files, but with Audition, you can, and sounds like you are. Audition also has it’s own project file, .sesx files into which you import audio source files. If using this type of editing method, your original source material will not be overwritten, just like in Premiere.
The Auto Save backups are of the .sesx project file, not the original source files, however when you save a .sesx project file the first time, Audition asks if you want all source files to be copied to the folder containing the project file, if they aren’t already there. At that point Audition will have given you ample opportunity to have duplicate source files.
If you are editing source files, those source files ARE your ‘project files’, and the only way that Audition can save any edits is to overwrite that file at each save.

[Joel Arvidsson] “Also, what kind of program wants to overwrite the original files every time you save the project???”
All programs overwrite the file you currently have open. If that happens to be your ‘original’, then all programs overwrite the ‘original’. Best bet is to back up the ‘original’ and create a duplicate to edit. Luckily, all CC programs also save to a different ‘Auto Save’ file periodically(how often is set by you).
