volume graphs drop out in omf

I exported my 3 audio tracks of my film to omf and put them in Google Drive to share with my sound mixer.  He said there are "dead spots" where the volume graphs are dropping down to zero.  This seems to occur when the tracks overlap and suddenly one or both drop to zero.  This despite the fact that I have fades on all the tracks and never a point where all 3 tracks are at 0, meaning no sound, or where they drop from full sound to nothing.  He sent me a video of what he's seeing -- the volume graphs just drop out/down - no fade - then come back up again.  This is apparently happening throughout the film - I don't know exactly how frequently.  But the point is that that's not what is in my tracks.  Anyone have an idea of what could be happening?  Thank you.

Correct answer bartonlew

I don't know if this'll help, but you're not on the latest version of Premiere. You should be on 11.0.2


Thanks.  This issue was resolved several weeks ago by a sound engineer who suggested I export the files as .aaf, not .omf.  This resulted in the fades carrying over.  I don't know if Premiere supports omf files but I certainly wasn't able to get them to export correctly.

What version of Premiere Pro are you using (down to the last decimal)?

What OS/hardware/etc.?

What were your exact export settings?

Thank you!  I am on 2017 Release 11.0.0 (154) Build

I am on a PC using Windows 10

I believe the export settings are as follows, which I am seeing as if I am starting to do the export over again (without having changed anything):

Sample rate: 48000

Bits per sample: 24

Files: Embed audio

Format: AIFF [this is grayed out]

Render:  Copy Complete Audio Files

Handle Frames: 24 [this is grayed out]

Include Pan [checked]
