Well, I've been using Premiere --- for quite a while now, the only thing is, the videos I've made were all music videos so I would have a video, and then an audio separately in the video. Now that I'm working on a mini low budget TV show, I would need the audio that is from the video recorded on the camcorder, but when I imported the video, it came up as JUST a video, and there was no audio, I tried dragging the same video to the audio section in the timeline, however nothing happened. Audio is not muted, I can still import .mp3 files in and it would work, but audio from video won't work. I hope there is a solution to this, I got too used to this program.. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks in advance P.S. I hope I didn't post this in the wrong section ^^
A couple of questions... What format did you import the video as on your computer and how was it imported from the camcorder? (Firewire, Capture card, HDD Camcorder) Have you tried to play the file in your media player to make sure the audio was captured? When you import the video into Premiere can you see the audio waveform on the timeline?
Format is .mpg, and I imported it from an HDD camcorder (I hooked up the USB and just dragged it out of the folder) Yes the audio works in meda player, it also works in Movie Maker, just not Premiere ---. In the timeline there is a section for Video and Audio, when I import, there is no audio wave.
That's odd, I have Premiere --- and with any .mpg file you should just have to drag and drop. I'll do some digging and see what I can find. On a side note, another great NLE is Sony Vegas and is very similar to Premeire but seems to be eaiser to use. You might want to look into that, but I'll see what I can find.
what I would do at this point if I were is demux the file into audio and video streams using a different program and then try muxing the audio and video streams back together in Premiere and see what happens.
I've tried Sony Vegas on my friend's computer, I find Premiere a bit easier to use, and I've been using it for quite a while now I got used to the controls . After drag and drop: (file is .mpg) Once dragged into timeline: @Red Alert That's what I was thinking of doing to, but I'm pretty sure there is another way to fix this problem, everyone else on youtube seems to be fine with it. Maybe while experimenting a long time ago, I accidentally pressed a shortcut or something? Haha I've spent hours just trying to figure this out.
When you preview the clip when not on the timeline does it have audio? if it does try dragging to the audio timeline
Nope, doesn't have audio nowhere when it's in Premiere. I've tried dragging to audio timeline, it just gives me that circle and cross sign.
Also, I tried dragging an .avi file into timeline and this time its just the audio thats playing, and no video. Could the file format be the problem?
It could definitly be the file format or the codec that the video is recorded in. I don't think premiere can play .divx files as an example, you may just see a green screen. You could use another program to convert the file to a .avi or something and try to keep the quality high. I know there is a good program for this that's free but I can't think of the name right now.
