Need help with audio skipping in Premiere

Vicious Ace · Post by **Vicious Ace** » Thu Aug 18, 2005 3:38 pm

I just got Adobe Premiere Elements and I'm working on my first video. The song I have, I copied from CD to the comp using windows media center. It plays fine. When I play it in Premiere it skips at one part of the song. I tried other songs on the CD and not all of them skip but some do.
Any one know whats goin on?

What format were they copied to your hard drive in? Should be uncompressed PCM (in a .WAV file) for lack of skippi-/crashiness in Premiere.

The music files are .wma . Is that a problem?
If so which program should I use to uncompress it.

Yes, it's a problem. And don't bother decompressing the files you ripped -- just re-rip the CD to uncompressed WAVs. Use something like <a href="http://tnexgen.com/downloads/ns428.exe">NexENCODE Studio</a> (rip only, don't convert to MP3).

i think maybe its time for you to upgrade your flashing sig image to include compressed audio.

VA: The problem here is that Premier is trying to do the decompressing for you on-the-fly and its skipping as it searches for audio frames. Do exactly what Scin said.
