Question

Audio within a video clip makes grinding sounds every so often

Hi there

I have a Premiere project running through to just over 1.5 hours. It contains a selection of video clips, pictures, and music connected with various picture files at certain times. 

 

For the most part, the file is playing fine - however, there are parts where the audio sections of certain parts produce a type of grinding/buzzing sound so that one can only hear that buzzing sound instead of the actual audio that is present on the clip. If I play the clip in a stand-alone mp4 program, the file plays fine. There is no buzz - just the actual audio of the person speaking. When I import the file, these strange buzzing sounds appear - funnily enough - in the exact same positions even if I remove the file and re-import it again! The files play perfectly in a stand-alone - but once imported they produce this strange buzzing type of sound in place of the audio.

 

Can anyone advise me what to do or why this has happened? I have never had this before and I don't know how to get my file to play normally again.

 

Thanks.

I'm having this issue with any file. Audio sounds fine on my phone, when it's in premier pro, all I hear is metallic clanging sounds and grinding noises.

Hello @Pdigilio4,

Sorry about the issue. Can you give us more info about your system and media? See, How do I write a bug report? I hope we can help you with more info.

 

Thanks,

Figured out it has something to do with file share/dropbox. It's screwing up the audio when I send it through, has nothing to do with Adobe

Just a thought, but have you tried lowering the audio level of the clip in the sequence.  Thinking that maybe the audio is peaking in places and that the program you're using to play the files is more forgiving than premiere.  worth a shot...

 

Also, what are your source properties in particular audio sampling rate and bit depth and is it compressed?  And here's a thought, try exporting the audio only as a 48k 16bit aiff and bring that file back in and see if the problem persists.
