Rendered Audio Repeat Glitch

We are encountering a glitch in our media output after our recent Premiere Pro CC 2015 Update (installed 12/16/15). The exported media will fill empty audio portions with a repetition of the last 1.5 seconds of audio until a new audio clip in the timeline plays. I am also experiencing the output media with an arbitrary amount of blank footage added at the end. I've checked the timeline to make sure there was not any "straggler" clips hiding at the end. One 10 minute video exported as an hour and a half. We are exporting both through Media Encoder and Premiere.

I had exported a 20 minute movie before installing the update on my system into several formats without issue (H.264 MP4, MPEG2 Blu-ray). My co-worker had already installed the update and was encountering these issues exporting the same file. We didn't realize that the update could be the cause. So I installed the update afterward and am now noticing the same issues when I export files. We are both using new 2015 Macs, Yosemite and El Capitan.

Assuming this is a result of the Update, I'm wondering if anyone else is encountering this issue. Otherwise, I suppose this is more of a report than a question, unless you have a solution for me. Our temp solution is to fill the "dead" audio space in the timeline with low audio slugs.

Hi, Kevin; thanks for getting in touch -

Unfortunately, the suggested workaround of the native sequence preference, and updating to 9.2.0.26, did not fix the problem for me.

I've not tried the export-audio-then-reimport fix because in my case, I have 38 short (average 6 minutes) sequences rather than one long sequence, so the time spent doctoring 38 individual sequences ends up not being as "efficient" (the concept is relative) as babysitting Pr exporting each sequence in the background while I try to get other work done. If it's important to try that from a beta-testing or bug-hunting perspective, let me know.

I've filed a few other bugs (through the public form) with Premiere was well that came up during this project, such as previewing issues when crossfading between two different pan-and-zoom settings on the same 4k source in a 720p timeline; I also have a bug logged several weeks ago with the Ae team concerning the "media offline" issue with AME, Pr, and a dynamically linked Ae comp. Between those and now losing a day due to the AME bug (which appears to a have been around for at least 2 versions), unfortunately I've not come away impressed with the "suite" approach to using Ae + Pr + AME. Or just using Pr solo. When previously-working features are broken by updates, there needs to be a more proactive approach to downgradin users to working versions so they can get work done and not miss deadlines.

Hi Chris,

Sorry for your continuing troubles. The workarounds do sound quite painful. I brought up this topic with the engineering team and there's nothing we can do prior to the upcoming version on that issue. Very sorry about that.

All you can do is file bugs as you have and I hope things will go smoother for you in upcoming projects. I hope to provide more info on how to avoid some of these issues and how to streamline processes.

Thanks,
Kevin
