Audio WAV

Does the file play correctly outside of Premiere?

If it does, this can sometimes be caused by corrupt metadata in the file, or corrupt media cache files.

You can try the following:

1. Delete the Media Cache

• Close your project.

• Go to Premiere Pro > Settings > Media Cache.

• Click Delete.

• Select Delete all Media Cache Files, then click OK.

Premiere will restart. When you reopen your project, the cache files will rebuild. Check if the WAV plays correctly after that.

If the issue continues:

2. Create a new version of the file in Audition

• Open Adobe Audition.

• Go to File > Open and open the WAV file.

• Press the spacebar to play it. Does it sound correct?

If it does:

• Go to File > Save As.

• Untick Include markers and other metadata.

• Save the file.

• Import this new version into Premiere and test it.

This can remove problematic metadata that may be affecting playback.
