I purchased the DMTS course and completed it. It's a great instruction media but it is not like having a teacher close by as there are many questions that are not answered. Here is my issue: I received an MPG video from a friend who wants me to edit it so I copied it to my hard drive and then imported it through Premier Pro. I then placed it on the timeline by clicking on it and dragging. I also tried inserting it via the Monitor controls. Both audio and video tracts show up on the timeline but when I play the clip on the timeline the video is fine but there is no audio. The audio shows up in the timeline but the waveform is flat. When I play the video in the monitor or project window there is sound. Can anyone help me with this? By the way the audio is 16 bit. Thanks for your help.
Well I would suggest that you demux the audio from the mpeg file and decompress it to Wav format and then Load the wav audio to the time Line.... Also you should not edit Mpeg files in Adobe premier unless you have the "MainConcept Mpeg Pro HD" Plugin installed...WHY?? because from premier to save your edited mpeg file it will have to re-encode the file and the re-encodeing will have a HuGe Impact on the quality.... If you have the Plugin installed then it adds smart rendering and native Mpeg editing support to premier which means that you can edit Mpeg files and sabe them in Mpeg format without any quality Loss and without a long wait for rendering..... If you can"t get the plugin then You should use a native Mpeg editor which is Made for editing Mpeg files like "Womble Mpeg Video Wizard"... Cheers
Thank you a million Minion!! I'm afraid that I am a novice at this editing thing. Could you recommend a program that will separate the audio from the MPG and then convert it to a wav file? Could you also recommend where I might find "Main Concept Mpeg Pro HD plug-in" before I search the web? Thanks again!
well To demultiplex the Mpeg file you can use the "Mpeg tools" in "Tmpgenc" and you can also use Tmpgenc to encode the audio to Wav format.... The Mainconcept Mpeg pro plugin is very expensive ,It is allmost as expensive as Premier it"s self so it might be a better idea to forget useing the plugin and Just deal with the quality loss that will occur when saveing the file in premier....
