Question

Track Audio Effects not rendering

Hi I need help with what seems a bug in Premiere.

In the Preview, while editing, I can clearly hear the audio effects applied on a certain track working. However, when I render out the video the effects are missing and I'm left with basically the raw audio (the audio is a simple stereo  WAV recorded from a Zoom H6)

I've tried rendering the audio only, same results.

I've tried re-routing the audio track to a Submix, still no change.

I've tried Render and Replace, I've tried rendering the audio file separately and putting it back on the same track and rendering again. Still no effect applied.

I also tried switching the audio hardware to ASIO4ALL, and also tried rendering audio both AAC and MPG, no difference.

I've tried nesting the audio and having a sequence on the track with the effects applied, no change.

I've tried placing the sequence with the tracks that has the effects inside a parent clean sequence, no change.

I'm running out of ideas...

In the image: green one is track 4 (SOLOed because I'm working on it to find a solution). None of the visible effects applied work (Dehummer, EQ, Comp)

    I'm having this same issue. When I play back the video in my timeline all the effects I have applied to my submixes work. Then when I try to render the audio or export, the effects don't seem to be working properly as they were in playback

      do all your audio files sampling rate match your sequence sampling rate?  If not, that may be the cause of the problem... Also, uncompressed audio is also preferred.  If you need help checking this, post back.

      Any working solutions so far? It's been fine for me before the latest update. But now I have to set presets on my audio plugins in premier every time I open a project. For some reason it doesn't recall the settings... And even when everything is set up and playback is good - I can hear all audio FXs applied - rendered video still has raw unprocessed audio. No matter what I use to render (direct rendering or AME). I read above that this might happen for projects that's been re-saved from previous Premier Pro versions... but what if making a new project from scratch isn't an option? @"render and replace" audio seems like the only option. Or am I missing anything?

        At times the best way to migrate a project to a new version is to duplicate the project file. Then in the new major version, as in 2022 to 2023 ... create a new project file. Then from the MediaBrowser, select the duped project file, right-click ... and import the sequences.

         

        You can clearly keep working in the older version, and test the new version with that project.

         

        And please ... now that they've changed this forrum to ALSO host bugs & ideas, post the ttroubles you are having in detail in a new post, choosing the Bug 'type' of post.

        Don't know if anyone's still around on this issue, but I ran into it this week and found a solution. In the rack effects, you have to pick a preset and then change the preset to match your needs. The default preset locks at doing nothing for some reason.

          I have the same issue with my freshly installed version 15.0.0 (Build 14). If have several VST audio effects on one audio track and Premiere Pro does not export them most of the time. Sometimes it does work, but most of the time this is not the case. Playback in Premiere Pro is always correct with all effects applied.

           

          Is there any solution or workaround in the meantime?

           

          Every is set up from scratch: Windows 10, Premiere Pro and the VST audio effects from Waves are installed freshly and with all the latest updates.

           

          This is very annoying.

            are you sure the Waves plug-ins are compatible with Premiere 15?  3rd party plugins often have issues after a major premiere update.

            Well, how do I check this? They seem to work properly as they do their job in playback mode. When I play the video in Premiere Pro, all effects are applied all the time. And sometimes they are also exported. But most of the time they are not in the final exported version.

              This DeHumm export error also drives me crazy. At least I've found a way to workaround this issue:

              1) Export the (incorrect) audio track(s) as a wave format

              2) Open wave in Audition, apply deHumm and process export 

              3) Import new (audition) wave into Premieres project and replace affected audio track(s)

              Now Premiere can't mess up any deHumm effect any more when rendering your clip.

              This same bug is also happening with DeReverb. Wasted lots of export time on an hour-long plus program with incorrect audio.

              Hi all,

              I'm on 14.7.0 Build 23 and I noticed that a track effect was not being applied (DeHummer). After several renders on MediaEncoder and then in PPro itself, I had the same result. So naturally...FORUM time. And HERE I find out THIS WAS REPORTED IN 2018????? 

              So tell me, HOW do I know I can trust ANYTHING this program does?  Do I now have to go back and SCRUTINIZE EVERY export to make sure what I want ACTUALLY HAPPENS???

              I mean I know audio has been a relatively low priority until fairly recently. Amazingly you can at least now move things around on the patch panel, even if you can't still save presets...

              I know audio has always been considered the bast..d stepchild of television 🙂 But seriously, when do things like this get fixed?

              @R Neil Haugen  Any thoughts on this?

               

              Thanks much all! (No, none of this is personal... it's just really frustrating working with bugs)

              you mean to tell me you don't review a file after you export it?  gotta say, if you're gonna send it to a client, that seems like an important step, cause even if the program performs perfectly, we can all make mistakes... I certainly do.

              So, when you play the section of the timeline with the dehummer effect, you hear the fixed audio?

              well,  I was reacting to the fact that you were worried that your previous exports might not have the applied effects either...  So let's see if we can do some troubleshooting.  First, Please tell us your system specs: OS version, Premiere version, amount of RAM, Hardware specs including graphics card and your source properties and sequence settings.  By any chance are the clips with the dehummer effects applied to shot on a smartphone?  If so, the problem may be a variable frame rate which can cause all sorts of inconsistent and unexpected issues.   And just to make sure, are you using the current dehummer or the obsolete one?


              The only modification I have performed on the footage: In premiere I have performed a "Modify>Audio Channels" so the file shows up as a single monaural channel (as opposed to 4-mono files). This makes it easier to place into the timeline with only the audio I need.

               

              I am using the only DeHummer in the effects panel under "Audio Effects>Noise Reduction/Restoration>DeHummer"

               

              Below are the system specification requested.

              I am running into a similar issue, also using version 12.1.2 (build 69). The difference for me is that the problem is occurring with the clip effects, not the track effects. I did find a workaround though. Using the render and replace function on the problematic audio clips did properly apply the effects, and they stayed after the export. I think the reason this didn't work for you is because you are using track effects, these don't get baked in when you use the render and replace function.

              I do have a workaround to suggest for your application though, if you nest all of the audio files in the track you can apply a clip effect to the nested sequence that would function like a track effect. You can then render and replace the nested sequence to bake in the effect so it doesn't get lost during the export. Obviously not an actual solution to the problem, but it does work when I try it.

                For what it's worth, I'm having the exact same issue with PPro 12.1.2 (build 69). This has worked with this version, because I use track effects all the time.

                I appreciate the time you took to list out what you've tried.

                I'm having the same problem. Applied track audio effects are completely absent in rendered output. Previewing a sample range does apply effects. Rendering the same range ignores the applied effects. Using PPro 12.1.2 (build 69).

                Confused by your use of "render", when you say:

                do you mean "exported" the video?

                Or are you having trouble rendering ( Menu > Sequence > Render . . . .)?

                If you could clarify would help.

                  I mean exporting the media (which also renders the project, hence the confusion).

                  To note that I also tried both exporting from Premiere directly and also using the Media Encoder, with the exact same results of not having the effects processed in the output file.

                  thanks

                  OK, if you select a  sound processed clip in the timeline and force render there (via Menu > Sequence > Render . . .)

                  check that the sound is processed correctly in the rendered file that appears on the timeline,

                  then export that rendered file from the timeline, making sure "Use Previews" is checked in Media Encoder -

                  does the sound precessing disappear in the exported file?
