Audio pops with Adobe Premiere Pro

[gurs]

I am using Adobe Premiere Pro to edit a video imported from a DV camcorder. The imported audio and video (AVI file) are free of audio pops. When I output an AVI file from APP, the audio track has pops in certain places. The pops are in the same spots even if I re-create the AVI file.

However, if I output just the video into an AVI file, and then output the audio separately into a WAV file, the WAV file has no pops.

I realize that my workaround is effective, but I'd rather not have to undertake the second step. Does anyone know why this would happen? Any recommendations? Thanks.

did you drop any frames when you transfered the dv to your system ?

No, the initial WAV file seems to be complete, and doesn't have any of the audible pops that the output from APP has when outputting audio and video at the same time.

I have nearly the same problem, using also Premiere Pro, and posted a few days ago in captureforum.
Pops in the audio by capturing,video is good no problems, no dropped frames.The same tape played on the tv by camera the pops not heard .
I have tried differend editprograms like Premiere Pro, Pinnacle S8, Ulead
Media Studio Pro, also different PC,s ,different Windows versions, it make no sense. It seems there are no IRQ probleems .
Any sugestions???

I have nearly the same problem

I have found a workaround, although it bothers me tremendously to spend $700 on software and then need a workaround to get quality output!

When I'm done with my file in APP, I do 2 separate exports: first just the video (in MPEGII format), then just the audio track in WAV format. I then open TMPGEnc, select the WAV file and output to a PCM or MPEG audio file. TMPGEnc does not have any pops. In my authoring software (I use DVD Workshop 1.3 AC-3), I use the video from APP and the audio from TMPGenc.

I don't think this will work if you're trying to export AC-3 sound from APP, otherwise has worked okay for me. Hope that helps.

But I still would love to know why APP has this obvious flaw.

If you captured your video/audio from a DV camcorder, check to see if your camcorder was set to record in 12-Bit mode (not so good) or 16-Bit mode (good).

Jerry - camcorder records in 16-Bit mode.

I was just reading my premiere book and it said something about this. It said there may be audio pops and cracks when you preview a movie and this is due to your computer. When you actually create the video it should come out fine.

troyvcd1 - Thanks, but I tried buring the DVD, and the pops were still audible.
