Question

Clip is silent after cutting but audio still appears to be there??

So I'm having a really strange problem, and I've googled around but haven't found ANYTHING close to my issue anywhere, so..

I have a clip - video is fine, audio is playing, everything is good!

But when the clip is cut, everything is fine BEFORE the cut, but everything is silent AFTER the cut.

It looks EXACTLY the same - the audio track is still there, it's not muted, and the audio is still fine BEFORE the cut. But for some reason there is no sound after the cut. I have NO IDEA why this is happening and am desperate for answers.

Thank you!

So I just had this issue on a first cut. Audio on the second segment is fine until I delete the first segment and then boom! it's gone. After just one cut. My only work around was take the first segment, drag it to another timeline and mute it. Crazy.

This issues still persists. It is pathetic that such a breaking bug still exists in this software. In a non-multicam sequence, my macbook m1 max restarted while I was gone, when I came back a couple clips don't have their audio playing in the master sequence and further down at random timecodes audio doesnt play in the timeline although when I preview the audio file in Premiere the sound IS there. When exporting the audio is present, it's just that it doesnt play in the program and nesting the affected cuts doesn't fix it every time either. Please, pay attention Adobe.

Ive been having the same issue for like two weeks now and i think i found the solution.
It happened to me when I was working at a multicam sequence so maybe this solution does not apply to everyone, or maybe the issue itself has something to do with the multicam sequence only. Just go to the audio track that is "muted">right click>Multi-Camera>Enable and Voilá! I hope it helps.

THANK YOU for this! This was my exact problem with a multicam sequence, and this solved the problem for me!

I'm having this exact same issue in version 23.1 ... I'm using the nesting workaround (thank you!) but I've never had something like this happen before. My video is about an hour long with ample cuts, but I've done this exact same editing process time and time again with no issues. Just bringing awareness that this issue persists.

I'm suddenly having the exact same problem in Version 22.5.0. Making one more cut mutes everything after that cut while everything before it is still audible, the loudness meter doesn't indicate any sound after the cut.

 

Nesting everything after the cut into a sequence helped as a workaround but this is hardly a viable permanent solution - really annoying! I've had many projects with many more cuts so I don't think it's a cut limit.

Reset a workspace
Reset the current workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.
1. Do one of the following:
• Click the Workspace menu icon and select Reset to Saved Layout.
• Choose Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout.

If that doesn't work, try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.

If that doesn’t work, try updating or rolling back your graphics driver directly from the video card manufacturer’s site. If NVIDIA, do a clean installation of the latest Studio Driver (NOT the Game Driver)

If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.

Does this clip have variable framerate?

Post clip parameters and sequence settings.

Hello,

 

I think I found a fix to this. So I was working with a nested sequence and I nested it once again and it fixed the problem. Hope this helps!

Looking at that clip, there's some effect applied to it ... see the yellow fx box? What effect is used on the clip?

Yes, that's just because I have raised the clip volume which you can see in the image. The effect was applied to the entire clip ​before​ cutting it.
