Audio re-rendering every time I start playback (enhanced speech related)

[cmdtv]

I am using the new enhanced speech options but everytime I pause playback and restart (even when no changes are made) audio has to render. Often the progress bar goes beyond 100% and often it is rendering clips that I am not trying to preview. 

The audio render engine surrounding enhanced speech feels very broken. Enhanced speech works, but it makes the whole project pretty horrible to work on.

I am having this same issue.

Same problem. Every time I cut into an audio file, it automatically renders. It's like a red light at every intersection.

Oh man, it is infuriating at times. The Ehanced Speech feature is great when it works. However, every single time I move, cut or literaly do anything to my project at all it has to render the entire audio file. Sometimes the rendering takes hours. Also, if I close the project and open it back up, even if I rendered the audio before I closed the project, it has to render all of the audio again. Another INCREDIBLY annoying thing that seems to be happening if I use Enhanced Speech (no idea how this is related but it only started happening after using the new tool), any graphics - lower thirds, titles etc. seem to lose their dynamic link and then when I try to relink them either it get's stuck trying or straight up crashes Premiere Pro entirely. So every single time I open my project back up I have to literally re-do all of the graphics and lower thirds. Get your sh*t together Adobe!

Same issue.  I can uncheck the "Enhance Speech" box in the Essential Sound panel and the previewing/rendering returns to normal.  But w/ Enhanced Speech enabled the Video Editor is unusable.

Does anyone know if they are working on this issure for the official release?

[BrunardoTheGoat]

I am having the same issue, I applied enhanced speech throughout all my clips and anytime either I make a cut or even if I extend the clip (by one frame!!), it starts doing renders of minimum 20 minutes up to four hours. I would love to know if there is any temporary fix, I do appreciate the enhanced speech feature I think it's a wonderful audio editing tool, but it needs to be integrated without this bug (I simply can't edit the whole thing when the clips are temporally gridlocked. Also please, if anybody has any solutions to bypass this at the moment, please let me know 🤲🏼 I'm not sure if maybe changing the bitrate or codec to the timelines format??? I believe that's the reason exports were having this same issue but it's probably not the same and I don't even know how to do that online without exporting. I am honestly more than a little bit frustrated and confused on what the solutions could be, I'm going to try disabling enhance speech when I make an edit, but I'm not even sure if that will work anyways, if anybody has any ideas, please  respond to me I would love to hear your feedback

I'm facing a similar problem a month later.  When I cut my project the old audio still remains in the background, too.  I tried to remove 20 seconds of audio from the beginning of my video, but when I play back, the unenhanced audio from the first 20 seconds play at the same time as the enhanced audio from 21 seconds onward.  This is worse than having to wait for renders for me.

It is not in 24.0.0. There is an Enhance Speech option that appears to be what is now (in the Beta) called Vocal Enhancer, with the "new" effect called Enhance Speech with the "Enhance" button.

So I have been using a kind of workaround. I wait until my project is pretty much complete and leave the audio until last, making cuts to the audio but not enhancing it until the very end. Once everything is cut together I then nest all of the audio clips and then apply Enhanced Speech to the nested clip. That way I don't have to deal with the painfully annoying "rendering audio" loading screen anytime I change the smallest thing. It's not ideal and Adobe definitely needs to work on improving this issue, however, the Enhanced Speech feature is honestly pretty incredible and still saves me a ton of time especially on poor audio that I typically enhance in Audition. It's a game changer in terms of the quality vs speed balance that us video editors are always fighting, but dammit Adobe get this on your list! 

[defaultjxhnhn3rrskx]

Yea - this is a nightmare. I have tried a few of the solutions suggested and still get no improvement. Working with a 50 min interview - and enhancing the speech is now cue'd to take 3 - 4 hours! (see below) My solution is to export the audio, then uploading to the Adobe Podcast / Speech Enhance tool - let that do the enhancing (in a matter of minutes) then bring it back into my project.

I'm experiencing this annoying bug as well.

On a related note, Why doesn't the "Global FX Mute" button disable all audio effects too? It should be labeled "Video FX Mute" instead and there should be another button for "Audio FX Mute".

[BlakePollino]

I've run into this same issue as well...I tried finishing my edit and then nesting all the audio on the track and then applying the Speech Enhance but it won't let me apply the effect to nested audio. The only workaround I found was to apply the Speech Enhance to the full audio clip before applying any cuts, then nesting that audio clip, then it would let me edit without trying to render every time I make a cut. Really enjoy the enhance feature built in, hope this is an easy fix.!

This still seems to be an issue in Feb 24

[DDale]

totally, we should be able to Cache the audio file and pause the -rerendering a bit like with Roto in Ae. Until then I guess we must cut up then apply enhance at the end. Or enhance then nest the audio once added to the timeline before editing the video. Hoepfully Adobe sort it out ASAP. Super useful feature once it's dev'd up! 

[ElBenson]

Well, it's been released and it's still janky. Thanks Adobe.

[Daniel36214036yiro]

I am experiencing the same issue. After render the Voice enhancement effect (Which takes a significant amount of time) the effect will have to re-rerender if I, move the timeline, cut a clip, play a clip, breath heavily. 

[SolarInkGraphics]

After applying enhancced speech, I simply exported a WAV file and re-imported it to make my edits. So far it works great.

Here it is, April 2024 and still having this same issue. Anyone figure it out? Is adobe just gonna ignore this? It is a huge time killer and I literally can't do anything else while its rendering.
