Essential Sound - Audio Ducking taking extremely long - Not working
Use the template below to provide us with information:
- Issue – AWhen using Audio Ducking in the essential sound panel, I'm met with "Generating Keyframes" into what seems like infinity. When I open the progress panel, it doesn't move. This has been going on for a little bit now, I'm running Premiere version 25.4.1 (Build 3). I do also have audio remix enabled. Audio is tagged as Music.
- Steps to reproduce – Timeline of interview dialoge, A1 is dialoge audio, A2 is music. A1 (dialoge) going to Dialoge submix, A2 (music) is going to Music submix. Both submixes going to main Mix. Apply audio remix to music track. Apply audio ducking to music.
- Expected result – I should have my music (audio remixed for length) and have audio keyframe ducking in the non dialoge sections of the timeline.
- Actual result – I get stuck "Generating Keyframes" with no progress and results. It doesn't even look like it's taking a long time- just not working at all.
