i recently updated to 2018, now i'm having audio pops and clicks randomly on my timelines.
it is not there in the raw files. this happens across multiple projects shot on different cameras in different locations with different audio equipment.
i check the same clips in other programs and no pops or clicks. all sources point to pr.
Yes. It is happening with new and old projects. Red footage from two different cameras in two different projects. As well as sony fsy footage in a third project. As well as avchd footage in a fourth project. Any ideas?
On Mac and Windows when using ASIO "Preferences>Audio Hardware>I/O Buffer size..." or "Preferences>Audio Hardware>Latency..." on Windows if you are using MME driver model.
Set that to a higher number and you should experience less audio dropouts. If not please send me a direct message.
This issue cropped up for me. It starts in the empty spaces of the timeline. If I scrub back and forth, it gets less and less. But it is intermittent and, like other issues, not consistent in frequency or fix. I did empty the cache, which did not affect it whatsoever. I increased the buffer as per Matt_Stegner, which helped at first but now the noise is different and louder.
Ok, so the buffer is not set too low. Next step: In "Prefs>Audio Hardware..." is the sample rate dropdown set to match you sequence settings. Example, if you sequence is set to work at 48,000 samples, is the hardware set to the same?
Ok, next step: Can you post a video of it happening? There is very little information for me to go on here. Many times a video of the problem happening will show me something that Is not coming through in text on the forum.
What audio hardware do you have running? Can you describe how you have your audio hardware set up? Describe anything that might be out of the ordinary or special to you set up?
Are you using adaptive/multichannel master and a ton of audio effect or Essential Sound panel instances?
I get buzzing, varying frequencies, only between clips—one clip is interview, the other is room sound— and totally unpredictable. Echo is not part of the issue. That is just how I had to set it up to record screen with QT. It happens when working normally as well.
I'm having this same issue. Random pops and clicks when playing in the timeline and also show up in exports. When playing in timeline, sometimes they disappear, reappear, and then still show up in final export. I tried the above suggestions (i.e. clear media cache, and setting the I/O buffer to a higher number).
Just started a new project and the first clip I imported into timeline has this same issue.
I'm using Macbook Pro (Mid 2015) Catalina, and Premier Pro 2020 is up to date.
Are you running Optical out from your machine? Had identical issue (Win 10 / PP 2018) Swapped from optical out to analog (headphone jack; both ports on motherboard); reconfigured Windows and PP Audio Hardware preferences to match. Problem gone.
These pops and clicks have been a problem for years. This is true for both old and new projects in my experience. Sometimes you can hear them before rendering and other times you can't. Clearing the cache has not helped in my instances. The only work-around I have found is to reboot my computer and restart all Adobe applications from scratch before any final renders that must be really good. Sometimes logging out and then logging in again on my iMac Pro running Big Sur 11.1 helps, too. I just had to do that with Premiere 14.7.0 (Build 23), released on 12/8/2020. And yes, this Premiere defect makes it just that much harder to get results that a client will accept.
