Hi folks,
As you probably know, sound is not my strong point (speshally voice-overs). I've just downloaded a whole bunch of short sound effects for use in my projects. Whooshes and button sounds etc
They are from a variety of royalty free sites that came up when googled.
All of them play in media player and quicktime....but when I import them into Prem pro, some of them dont play on the timeline!?! Some do though.
Its not format...some are mp3, some wav. And prem pro does the conform audio thing when I import....could it be cos the audio clips are very short < 1sec???
they dont play in the preview monitor either
Any ideas???
Neil

Could you upload one of the files that doesn't work?
If you can then I'll give it a go as I work with sound and computers extensively in my job.  |

I've used putfile to host afew sound fx here Putfile
and here putfile
.....but they disable the right click....so you cant download and work with them :cry:
Cant remember where I found them in the first place, I was just googling around collecting fx. Could I email them to you as a zipped attachment?
This is the first time I've ever had probs with Prem pro.

They may be labelled 'wav', but that doesn't tell the whole story. I recommend you convert the offending files to a WAV file with no compression. These will load into Premiere I assure you.

Try what Marc suggests. As he says a .Wav doesn't tell the whole story. It could still be compressed using ADPCM or the like.
I'll PM you with my email address so you can send me a copy of the file.

Yup! thanks marc, I converted them to wavs with some freeware from download.com and PP now recognises and plays them.

In addition to this issue I tried exactly the same sounds that PurpleTurtle emailed to me and I had exactly the same problem in Prem Pro and couldn't hear them.
Weird, but converting them sorted it out.
