I've gotten great support from you'all, but there's this question still pending! I posted a question a week ago regarding audio problems and have received no reply. Maybe it was poorly written. So I'm trying again. When I capture audio along with a video clip, and then play the clip in the clip editor in Premier, more often than not, the audio doesn't play well. If the audio happens to be human speach, the speaker says a word or two. Then there's a pop or loud sound, followed by the speaker saying the same thing again. The intelligable portions last about half a second and the distortion also lasts about half a second. The cycle repeats indefinitly. While the audio is a mess, the video plays just fine – as if there was no problem. Also, when I preview the movie in Premier, the resulting audio is fine. There's no problem when I write the movie in FAST's Movie Studio program. Presumably, I could "make" each raw clip, and then use the made clips in the construction of the movie. But that would certainly add time to the effort. Is this a synchronization problem? If so, how do I fix it? I need to get by this because I'm finding that the audio – in a wedding, at least – is very easy to use to determine in/out points for clips. I didn't have time tonight to mess with audio synchronization. The following are the settings I'm using: Premier 4.0's settings: Timebase: 29.97 Compression: Settings for: AVI Compressor Method: FAST M-JPEG Depth: Millions Quality 100% Quality Options Frames: 30 Optimize stills Data rate Nothing checked Preview Options: Preview Window Size: 320×240 in front when previewing Video Rate 30 fps Mode: Effects to disk Type: Full Size Frame Process at: Same as project Video filters: On Audio Rate: 22KHz Format: 8 Bit – Stereo Build: Disk Play: Disk Audio Filters: On Output Options: Output: WorkArea as AVI Movie Video Size: 320×240 4:3 Aspect is NOT checked!
