Sound bug in Premiere

P

I'm not looking for a workaround (I already have one)...I'm just wondering if anyone has seen/heard of this:


The scenario:

-I have some video clips
-I import an mp3 into my project (I just drag it to Premiere)
-Premiere conforms it; I drag it to my timeline
-Everything is fine, but at a certain point, there is a short burst of static in the song on the left channel when played in Premiere (either in the source window or the timeline). The static lasts exactly 2 frames.
-If I delete and re-add the song, it's still there at the same location.
-The mp3 plays fine without the static in itunes, VLC, WMP, etc etc...

This happens every now and then with a random song in a random location and a random project. It's rare but is annoying.

Anyone seen this?

FYI: using CS5.5

Yes, with any file that not conform to video standard, ie 16-bit 48Khz. (.mp3's are often/always 16-bit 44.1 Khz, thus the issue)

I always convert the files from 16-bit 44.1Khz to 16-bit 48Khz to solve that problem. If you have Audition you can open the file and press F11 to convert it to 16-bit 48Khz. When done, save as .waw or .aif. (Or use any other audio application that can convert the Sample Rate. Always aim at 48Khz audio and do always avoid 44.1Khz or any other sample rate.

I have had no issues since i started to convert all non-video-standard audio to 16-bit 48Khz. :)

Hi Phil1076,
I'm looking up for a solution to my audio sync problem and come across your post.
Have you ever also met any audio out-sync problem with CS5?
I import my AVCHD footage into CS5 but the sound is 1~2 seconds in delay when previewing.
I've tried many different workarounds but still cannot get the sync problem settled :-(

I've never had a sync issue. Make sure your sound/video drivers are up to date and if your computer is slow then lower your playback preview resolution.
 
Since the dawn of time I've always had issues with mp3's in PP. Usually the sound just dropping out first time you take it in, reloading the project fixes it. Also getting some "good old" loading issues with mp3's in CS5, havent had them since CS3.
