Premiere Pro 2022 - Audio cutting in and out after export

Its 2024 and I just ran into this problem, what fixed it for me was:

1. Restarting Premiere Pro.

2. Exporting it out of Adobe Media Encoder instead of straight out of premiere.

Not sure which one fixed it but I hope this helps anyone else with the problem!

POSSIBLE FIX

This bug drove me nuts but here's a simple solution that worked for me:

1.  When exporting your sequence from Premiere, use the "Send to Media Encoder" option on the lower right hand corner of the screen.
2.  Process your video once and check if the audio cuts out. If it does, proceed to step 3.
3.  Right-click on the file shown in the Queue panel within Adobe Media Encoder and select "Reset Status"
4.  Process your video again and check if the audio is intact. If so, you're good to go. 

I found a great fix for this on both Premiere and Media Encoder. 

 Once you have your video ready to export or in media encoder, go to your control pannel (ctrl+alt+delete > Control Pannel)

then head to the details tab. Once there find whatever program you are using to export the vidoe and right click on it and click"set affinity"

Once you have done this you should see all the usabale cores in your pc. for instance for mine i have an intel i7 with 7 cores so i would have 1-7 listen but you may have more or less. Simply turn off a couple of the cores so the entire cpu isnt being used and then export away. You will need to do this every time you open up the program so keep that in mind 🙂

Feb 2022. having same issues. been using premier for last 7 months and it's only in the last month I have been having issues. I'm currently on my 5th export attempt Every export has different audio pieces missing!  trying every suggestion but to no avail. why is this bug not being fixed! 

I'm having the same issue Pr 22.0.0 (I can't update to the latest due to a bug with MAXON plugin).  Audio is fine in the timeline but at export random spots cut out.  Each export the 'cut out' audio moves to a different spot in the video.  But the curious part:  My Sony a7iii footage w/ shotgun mic is fine, the sfx are fine, the background music is fine...it's only the audio from my new DJI Mics giving me trouble.  Perhaps it's a compression issue at export?  IDK.

I'm having the same issue.  Very frustrating.  I have been editing with Premiere for 20 years and this is something new.  Definitely a bug in your 2022 version that needs fixed.

I'm also having problems with exporting the audio. I have never had any issues in the past and this time everything I'm exporting is cutting in and out. Is there a fix coming? Since obviously it's the version issue since it only happened when it updated to 2022

I've checked all of the sound levels and channels and nothing is muted.  The curious thing is that every time I export different parts of the sound go missing.

I would try to render out just the audio using the settings below and import it just to see if the audio is missing in that file as well.

If the .wav file comes out correct, just mute the original audio on the timeline and put the .wav file on the timeline and export your H.264 to get the project finished. Try it and report back.

try transocding the camera original to prores.  You can then unlink and relink to the prores version...   h264 is a heavily conpressed mpeg format which may be causing the issue...  It's pretty amazing that you can throw almost any format at premiere, but sometimes when there are issues, it can make sense to work with a more robust format.

Hi ryanm87880867,

We're sorry to hear about this. In which media player are you playing the exported media? Also, have you tried importing the exported media in Premiere Pro & checked if the audio is playing properly in Premiere Pro?

Thanks,

Sumeet
