hi

i am using a voice recorder that uses mp3 format to use as audio in video and every time i import it into premiere it gives me a chopped up incomplete file or in other words the file is missing a lot of data. they all play fine through the computers default audio player but they get hacked up when importing it into premiere and ive tried reimporting them but no such luck. do i just have to convert them into another file and if so what is the easiest way to do so?

    If you are a CC subscriber, use Audition to covert the file to a 48khz .wav file, then import that file.

    If not, and all you have is Premiere Pro, click on the sound file on the timeline to select it, and once selected right-click (control-click) on the clip and choose Render and Replace from the drop down menu.

    I recommend recording to .wav format instead.
