Quote Thanks for the clip. PD doesn't like the MP3 center audio encoding on my system either. I tried running the clip through AudioDirector but the audio was very harsh, clipped and distorted after producing.

I then ran it through VirtualDub2 and converted the audio to AAC. Everything works and sounds great in PD, so download the re-encoded file from here and it should work on your system.

In the short term, unless you can change the recording settings in your DR750X-2CH Plus, you'll need to run each clip through a free 3rd party converter like VirtualDub2, Handbrake or Audacity (if you don't mind extracting the audio and placing that directly under each video clip in PD).

In the longer term, I think you should report this to CL Tech Support so they can investigate (and possibly patch PD) to handle these specific clips. You can open a support ticket here, and be sure to include a link to this forum discussion so they can see everything that's happened so far.

Thank you so very much for your help. Your modified clip works great. I'll have to use that VirtualDub2 until I can get it worked out with BlackVue to see if there's a fix for the way my cam records. Hopefully, it's just a setting I can change. I'll know in a couple of days since my car is loaned out to my sister. I'll give CL the heads up also.

Be well,

Quote Thanks very much for the new screenshots. FYI you can export the MediaInfo details as a text file from the File > Export menu and that can be attached and uploaded here 👍

I wonder if you'd be willing to share the same clip you detailed with MediaInfo. The forum's attachment size limit is somewhere around 100MB so it should barely squeeze under the limit. Use Google Drive/OneDrive if the forum times out and the uploaded file doesn't show up when you preview your post.

Also, which BlackVue dashcam model is this from? Search the forum for BlackVue to see some of the issues various other users have had and the workarounds for getting the clips to work.

Here's the share for the clip. I didn't think about exporting that. My bad. I have the BlackVue DR750X-2CH Plus.

Quote I have BlackVue dash cams and haven't had any problems using them in PD, although mine are encoded with HEVC rather than AVC.

Please attach a screenshot or the text output of Tree view from MediaInfo so we can see all the details, and also a screenshot of what your timeline looks like once you've dragged a problematic clip to the timeline.

You can also try downloading the front & rear clips from this OneDrive folder (no need to sign in if prompted) and see what happens when you place them on the timeline.

Thank you for your quick response. I have downloaded your two clips and added them to the project to see what happens (your 2 clips are the last 2 in my timeline so you can see the difference). I have also screen snapped the tree view of one of my clips as requested. It was long so that pic is in two pieces.

I have PD18.0.3801.0 (64-bit) running on Windows 10 with Nvidia 2070 Studio Driver and Sound Blaster Audigy FX sound card.

When I preview 1-minute clips of video with audio (from my BlackVue dashcam) the video and audio play fine in PD18. But when I insert these clips into the selected track, no audio appears in the track and none plays when in the track. Can someone assist in troubleshooting this unusual problem, please?

Attached is a MediaInfo pic of the vid files as they are from the dashcam.

Quote Does the "Shift" left or right keyboard arrow help at all? It toggles to the next timeline marker and maintains timeline zoom.

Since these are timeline markers they are not tied to clips but timecode, hence the issue you noted with clips are removed. Suggestions previously asked for clip tie of markers, chapters,... so on, but not a feature yet.

Thank you so much for replying.

Yes, I use the SHIFT + ARROWS like crazy. It just would be immensely more useful with that Markers window open for quicker go to jumping to a specific marker. Especially when they are all over the place and you don't feel like pounding out the arrow keys until you get to where you want to be. It just makes sense to me.

Hello everyone,

I'm working on some rather long vids with a several dozen timeline markers. I'm finding it very tedious to move around the timeline because I can't figure out how to make the timeline marker window stay open so I can use it for fast and convenient cueing to the timeline by clicking the marker instead of having to move through the timeline itself. (especially when the timeline is zoomed in)

I have a three monitor station and would very much like to utilize that space with some open windows of editing tools and such. I also think the ability to color code the markers would be a very advantageous addition to visual recognition of what's on the timeline at a glance. Keeping any tools or editing window open as an option would be an extremely helpful option.

The markers also never move with the clips if you "remove clips and move to fill gap". That option needs to be added. It totally eliminates the usefulness of the markers, especially when you have dozens of them set up. Very frustrating when that occurs.

I'm scratching my head with this. I use to use Cyberlink Wave Editor and when I recorded voice using my Yeti microphone, I could adjust the input volume while I'm recording voice. I have recently upgraded to AudioDirector 7 and I'm scratching my head trying to find the record volume controls on this application. I'm being a total n00b but can someone please help?

Quote There is a 1000 Hz test tone here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbPh0pmNjo8 .

Thank you so much. Is there a way to import my own audio sound effects into the sound clip library for Audio director?

Hello everyone.

This is my first time posting in forum. I have a couple questions I hope all you non-n00bs can help this n00b with.

I've been looking to import a simple 1000 cycle tone beep for use in some blooper reels I'm working on for my first project. But I haven't found anything in the online library. Is there a way to generate that in AudioDirector?

Also, I have a pretty good library of sound clips I would like to import into AudioDirector but have had no luck in making that happen. Is there a tutorial somewhere I haven't seen that can help?

Thanks, everyone and I look forward to and help you may be able to send my way.

Be well,
