Question

narration record stops after 1 to 5 seconds...How to fix?

I have PE 18 and have used  earlier PE a lot but never had this problem.  I start to record narration and it either immediately stops or does so between 1 and 5 seconds later.  I have a new HP Pavilion computer with 250+ GB free.

Thanks for any help.....Richard

    Hopefully this helps others: I had the same issue and the problem for me was that I had my Bluetooth earphones connected to my computer at the same time that I had my wired headphones connected to the mic (for voice monitoring). As soon as I disconnected the Bluetooth earphones, everything went back to normal.

    i have Premier Elements 2024 and have been using this software since version 2018. this narration stopping issue has been prevelant in several different PC's, OS and app versions. I get about 5 second blips and have to start over, again, again, again and again... so lame.

    When you record on the timeline, underneath a photo, for example, it helps
    to "stretch out" the photo as long as your recording/narration. This has
    worked for me . Also, be sure to expand the timeline fully to see if there
    are any "fragments" of a photo or of narration in the way that can stop the
    recording.

    I had this problem with narrator stopping after 30 seconds on premiere elements 10. To remedy this I would load in a video first then for some reason this would allow narriation to record far beyond the 30 second limit it initially allowed me without a video. In other words it appears to me and im no expert, in my system it wants a video in there to record more than 29 seconds in Premiere Elements 10.

    yes....mic is confirmed under audio preferences.  I have reinstalled the program and at first it was OK, then minutes later went back to the narration stop after just a second or three.   Also, the time line play button will not play for long...only a second or so.   It seems like I am the only one with this problem!

    I too have the problem of narration recording stopping after about 5 seconds. It looks to be a common problem and a real headache to me!

    I found that by checking and unchecking "mute audio while recording" that this quirk was fixed. Even closing out and re -starting Premiere did not help. If this fix does not continue to work, I'll let you know

    Richard,

    Make sure that your microphone is accessible to the narration. You will be prompted by a request to access your mic, and be sure that the mic you're using is selected by your PC as the correct one. With narration, you can have one or more other clips or none at all on the same timeline sector as the narration as illustrated:
