Weird sound problems.

PostWed Jul 28, 2021 8:43 am

Can anyone help me solve an audio issue please. Using Prores clips with audio and codecs set exactly the same as DR project settings. With even just 1 clip on the timeline if the playhead is at the start of the clip and you hit play the audio does not kick in until after a second or two. But if you put the playhead a few seconds before the clip and hit play then you get the audio from the start.

Latest studio version on an imac using 1080 clips at 25p

I purchased the studio version as I am trying to get away from fcp but having spent 2 days trying to fix this problem by transcoding and follolwing advice from a dozen videos about configuring clips I am now way behind on my work and having to return to fcp to get the work done.

Very frustrating, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
Anton

Are you on 17.2.2?
Windows or Mac?
Can you detail your GPU and audio I/O config?

Hello, I'm on a late 2012 IMAC

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2 GB (Only editing 1080p)

3.4 GHz Intel Core i7

32 GB memory

Audio is using just the inbuilt audio.

Clips are on an an external drive

I will be getting a faster machine but because this problem is happening with just one 20 second clip on the timeline it seems that it is not due to slow drives or lack or memory.

Thank you for responding :)

Just thought I'd sign this off as it the problem seems to have resolved with me putting the media on the internal drive. I have learned a lesson here I think.
Many thanks for for offering help Peter.
