No audio in timeline and export

Hi guys,

I've been using Adobe Premiere Elements 14 a lot and never had serious problems editing my AVCHD / .mts-files from a panasonic HD camcorder. Usually I use a microfone and the audio-settings would be: 256 kBit/s, 2 stereo channels, 48.000kHz

THIS TIME I didnt use a microfone and the audio-setting turns out to be: 384 kBit/s, 6 channels stereo, 48.000kHz

I can import the video and it would playback WITH audio in the bin.

As soon as I move the videoclip to the timeline, there is no audio anymore. The track is displayed, but no waves are shown and nothing can be listend to.

When I try other clips in the same project (those recorded with the same camcorder but external microphone), there will be audio in this same project, both in the bin and in the timeline.

It took me long enough to figure out what is the difference between the two clips, and the fact of being recorded with or without external microfone is the only difference I found.

I converted the video into audio, to synchronise it and put it back into the system, but premiere doesnt accept the converted audio files.

I changed the project settings for the project, but nothing is helping. it s always the same: audio in the bin, no audio in the timeline.

I would appreciate your help!

Thank you!

PD: It s not only one project, which I could re-record with external video... it s all the "homevideos" of my children which are to be edited and I need a proper solution.

    I chose wetransfer: WeTransfer


    I tested this in 2018 as I do not have E14 anymore.

    5.1 is read as 6 channels. (did not know as I do not use 5.1 audio)

    You clip does have audio but its mono and set on the Center channel.

    You need to set up a project that has 5.1 audio tracks (not just the master track)

    Might want to put the clip in track 4,5 or 6 for 5.1 audio.

    Hi Ann,

    thanks for your reply. Actually, the master track is 5.1 and also I changed into different tracks and the problem remains the same. no change at all :-(

    The microphone might be the culprite. They are usually mono.
