Audio Issues Premiere Pro CS5.5

Apr 30, 2012 7:30 AM

Hi All!

 

New here...


I'm using Premiere Pro CS5.5 on a Mac Pro, running Lion. Had no issues with it at all until now.

 

Issue:


For some reason, when I'm looking at footage in the source window the audio doesn't play. However if I leave it for a few minutes it 'compiles', the best way I can think of describing it as is buffering. but if I skip forward a substantial amount of time, say 3-5minutes the audio fails. I also have a slight problem with the video footage stuttering when viewing in the source window.

 

Looking back at previous edits that I've done they all work fine, its only effecting new edits.

 

I've trawled the net looking for answers, followed all the hints I've found from clearing the Media Cache database to reinstalling the entire collection to changing the audio hardware output


However nothing works.


Any suggestions?

 

Cheers,


Stu

    What are the specs of your media?

    They're the same as I"ve always used.

     

    However, the problem seems to have sorted itself now? All I can think it is, is that Premiere is having to maybe convert the audio codecs?

     

    It was just a bit weird that it suddenly started happening.

     

    But as per your request, I think this is the right info:

     

    Type: QuickTime Movie

    File Size: 3.1 GB

    Image Size: 720 x 576

    Frame Rate: 25.00

    Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 16 bit - Stereo

    Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo

    Total Duration: 00:14:24:05

    Average Data Rate: 3.6 MB / second

    Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.4587

     

     

    Thanks for the help

    PP will 'convert' audio from that source into 32 bit floating point for use inside of PP.  If you try and play a file before conforming is finished, you can have issues.

     

    In the lower right hand corner of the interface, you'll see yellow progress bars for the conforming.  Wait till that's done.

    Hey Jim,


    Cheers for that! I'll check it out now and get back to you.

     

    Many thanks

    This is going to be an incredibly amateur question but where am I looking for the progress bars?
