Audio Disappears
by Corinne Friesen on Jun 29, 2012 at 6:15:33 pm
Working on a short trailer with music bed and some voice over. About a minute into the project the voice over track won't play, doesn't show on the audio meters, nothing. The music bed is fine and the first 30 seconds of all material is fine, but I'm losing sound on the voice over on my last 30 seconds of clips.
Already checked:
mute options are not enabled.
changed the tracks that the audio for these clips sits on - no improvement.
Even checked the 'mute input during recording' since that seemed to solve it for someone on another forum. No luck.
So I rebuilt the last 30 seconds, and that seemed to go OK, got my sound back and saved the project. And next time I opened the project, I was back to the same problem. Each time I rescue the project, then close the project down, I lose the sound on those clips.

Update: It seems to happe with any new clips I lay out. They're fine at first, but once I close down the project and reopen it, the audio doesn't play and doesn't show on the meter.

Do you get an error message when the CTI rolls past the clip during playback? This happened to me on my second project. The audio actually encoded fine when I exported the media to Media Encoder and listened to the final encoded file.
You might try that even if you are not finished with project - just as a test.
I opened up that same project with the offending audio clip in a free CS6 trial download and the problem never happened. That just went away in Premier 6.
Trial expired, I'm back to 5.5 and the clip is gone again but it did encode just fine.

I had simular problems. I switched of the Cuda cards and it disappeared. So it probably has something to do with the right positions of your grafic cards in your computer.

First, thank you for your suggestions, guys. Didn't have much luck with them, but the Cuda Cards suggestion looked promising for a bit.
George, what I ended up doing was go back to the last version of my project that didn't have the problem and then I rebuilt it from there. Tedious, I know, but it solved the problem.

I too am experiencing this. Every time I reopen the project - the audio is missing in just the way described in this thread. I go back to an earlier version of the project - cut and paste the audio back in - but next time I open the project it's gone again ...... very annoying!

Wanted to bump this thread as the same thing is happening to me. So far only a few clips have had their audio disappear, and I've had to match frame and replace the audio manually to restore it. I exited PP and came back in, and so far the audio is sticking, but if this starts happening all the time it's gonna be a killer. I'm working on a huge/long edit right now.
Anyone find a solution or find out what's going on?

Hi Tom. I am editing footage straight out of a Panasonic AF-100, so the media files are .mts. They are stored on an external drive. Thanks for any insights, it definitely is a strange bug.

This has happened to me a couple times using the following workflow: Copy audio/video from a project. Close that project and open another project. Paste on timeline. It seems to work fine the first time, but when i close and re-open the audio is gone. The clip is there but red. when i right click on the clip and select "reveal in project" the clip is indeed there in a bin.
Which brings me to another subject...one of the things I miss the most about FCP is the ability to open multiple projects at once. I typically work on larger projects and copy/paste back and forth constantly. That would be a very welcome feature.
