Question

'Maintain Audio Pitch' in Speed/Duration causes Audio Glitch

Hello. 

I'm having a hard time with Adobe Premiere Pro 15.4.

When I change the Speed/Duration of an audio track (MP3, 48 kHz) and check Maintain Audio Pitch, I frequently get a moment of louder audio immediately following the edit point. This is very frustrating…

 

Workarounds I tried:

  • adding additional frames and…

  • adding fades at the beginning of the audio, but the problem remains.

 

I also tried to…

  • Convert the audio to WAV

  • Remove all attributes, effects from audio clips

  • Render audio clips (and everything else)

  • Nest audio clips

  • Export everything

 

Please help!

Is it possible that the transition timings set in preferences are not right, or too short?

Transitions are by default often too long or too short.

Look at Edit/Preferences/Timeline and check the video and audio transitions.

Experimentation may be necessary to get your ideal setup.

Finally, I've been able not to find a fix, but a workaround. Hope this helps someone, too!

Hi julianmark,

 

We're sorry to hear about this. Are you experiencing this with any specific media/project or all of them? Also, have you tried the latest version of Premiere Pro & checked if it's working properly?

 

Thanks,

Sumeet

 Are you experiencing this with any specific media/project or all of them?

I can reproduce the exact same problem with an entirely new project and different audio files. As soon as I change Speed/Duration and check Maintain Audio Pitch, the glitch appears.

 

Also, have you tried the latest version of Premiere Pro & checked if it's working properly?

I just updated from 15.4 to 22.2 and nothing changed.

 

Also, I just noticed that the glitch disappears when speed up the clip (and don't use 'Maintain Audio Pitch'), then add the 'Pitch Shifter' effect to the audio and change the pitch manually using that effect. But I would have to manually adjust almost hundreds of clips to different pitches, so that can't be a solution…
