Hi Andrew,

I know this already works for you - as we have talked to each other.

see images 044 and 045 attached. Note the position of the dots (cursor and click and drag) and the slider moved down in 045.

Post removed as the method described does not work.

See next post.

Unfortunately, although the above workaround appears to work when previewed, the actual rendered movie still has a clunk of audio before the fade in starts. In otherwords PD6 cannot work with the first few frames of audio.

The only workaround that is successful for me is to insert a coloured board, say black, before the video clip and then insert a video fade transition. That way you get a fade up from black, and the audio is automatically faded up too.

HI all,
I have noticed that there is a "blip" on the sound at the very start of my timelines but only when previewed in PD. The final rendered video does not have the blip, just the sound track as it should be.

Hope this helps

Hi Kintara

Very strange. Just as a matter of interest, how are you creating the fade in? Also, when you zoom in to maximum and look at the audio graph, can you see the fade in from the very start, or does it only start slightly later in the timeline?

Thanks

Andrew

Andrew,
I tried Dafydd's workaround and it seem working.

My steps are:
1. drop the clip in timeline
2. open up Audio Mixing Room. (timeline thumb is at beginning now)
3. Drag video slider to 0 level
4. Drag timeline thumb to where ends fade-in
5. Drag video slider to middle level
6. Drag timeline thumb to where begins fade-out
7. Click video slider's thumb (no move)
8. Drag timeline thumb to clip end
9. Drag video slider to 0 level.

I got perfect audio fade-in/out. That's it!

As mentioned elsewher, I used a black colourboard in the video and did a transition fade in. I have also messed about with adding nodes to the sound track and dragging the 1st one as low down as possible, never been fully happy with that method. Will try the one suggested by ddyy, seem sensible enough way to do it. Personally I have not played around enough with PD to even know that the mixing room as there (even though it is blindingly obvious!)
Best of luck to you all
