Auto ducking not being applied on exported video

Hi all,

 

I've been trying to export some video where I've lowered the volume and used the "auto ducking" option to fade music it in and out as my characters speak. All sounds great in Adobe Premiere when editing.

 

However after I export the track and play it back, the auto ducking hasn't worked and there are no changes to the music at all.

 

Although further on in exactly the same video, the auto ducking has worked as expected on a different piece of music belonging to a different clip.

 

I've tried deleting the music and importing it back in, then adding auto ducking again but no joy - it still won't apply the changes when exporting. I was wondering if there is a setting I might have missed or something I've not done when exporting perhaps?

 

Thank you in advance for any help or advice with this.

Not crazy... or hearing imparied! 😉

 

Same version here - 15.4.0 (Build 47)


Hi Pat5EB4 and for anyone else experiencing the same issue.

 

I've just contacted Adobe chat and informed them of the problem, tried troubleshooting but no joy.

 

So they suggested I roll back to V15.2.0 which so far for me is working as it should (fingers crossed) in regards to auto ducking and exporting.

 

As a result Adobe have submitted the auto ducking porblem as a bug, but in the meantime I hope the above info will help until they release a fix.

The exact same thing is happening to me. I guess I'll be rolling back to a previous version until it is fixed. But, for what we pay for Adobe month after month, I expect better. 

 

Maybe it's time to begin looking into alternatives...

Hi Vainglorious Gaming,

 

A fix for this bug has been released in the Beta version of Premiere Pro [v22.0 Build 87]. Can you verify if this is working fine now?

 

NOTE: Premiere Pro Beta is a separate install and will not interfere with/uninstall the exisiting version of Premiere Pro on your machine.

 

Thanks,

Rameez

Really helped me out this post - I've struggle with this for my last two projects and it's driven me mad! I had already rolled back but that didn't fix it - hadn't thought of rolling back two versions! That fixed the issue.

 

Didn't think of contacting support since assumed they wouldn't be much help.

 

Had been forced to use Alex Audio Butler which is more buggy than Premiere Pro and doesn't seem to be updated anymore. Waste of money that was.

 

Anyway thanks for taking the time to sort out this issue and help a lot of people out!

I've been struggling with the same problem for weeks. In the meantime I'm (almost) losing my patience. All videos need to be saved multiple times. I try and test it again and again, but after exporting some audio files are linked to the audio track and some are not.

 

What do you think? How long will it take Adobe to solve the problem? Please, Adobe Team, hurry up!!

same here and searching internet for solution in past few days , in first export it started middle of the clip and I was in hurry so ditched the auto ducking and I've done that manually but now in another project it effects entire video

Oh same here.It works fine in the timeline, but the exported one is doomed.

The first ducking "keyframe" seems to be ignored in the exported video.

Even if I am only exporting part of the video with In/Out, or exporting only Audio, I couldn't work around it.

aah, just had this same problem. Finally updated to the newest premiere version, ducking is not working. Tried to export in wav but got the same issue. Annoying as hell, hope this gets fixed soon.

Hey guys, just a quick note - this issue is still out there. Auto-ducking works in Premiere, vanishes after exporting. Nearly los my contract because of that (I know, I know, my fault I didn't double check after uploading movie on my boss' YT). Please fix this bug immediately.

This issue has cost me hours of editing time. Please tell me I've not wasted my time updating 15.4.1 after rolling back from the previous version.

Just had to rollback two versions. This is basic stuff guys. Who does your testing?
