Create from AVCHD files miss audio with Smart Render

Post by aljimenez »

I tested yesterday creating a video using "same as first video". All inserted files were AVCHD. The created video file, typed mpg, was missing audio no matter what I tried: tried mp4, avi, etc. I then turned off Smart Render in the options that pop-up when creating the video and it worked ( I have Smart Render turned off in the Preferences, BTW). This appears to be a bug or am I doing something wrong? In any case I am happy with this "work-around" Al

Hi Al

I have yet to move into the HD video world, but the forums HD users do recommend disabling Smart Render when using HD

Its not a new thing, In the past if problems have occurred with standard video, we would try without Smart Render.
Unfortunately we don’t know why there is sometimes a problem, the mysteries of video editing.

As it doesn’t happen to all, I doubt if its recognised as a bug.

Moreover, 'Same as first video' does not work properly with HD video (whether HDV or AVCHD). If you get anything, it is usually SD mpeg-2...

Thanks for pointing this prior knowledge that somehow escaped me. I thought I had Smart Render turned off since it is turned off in the Preferences. However, it was ticked on when Creating/Rendering the file. I had to tick it off again in the Options button when creating the file.

So this is a recognized bug? Is there a "List of bugs" and workarounds somewhere?

Not that I've seen, unfortunately...

Hi

Not sure you can turn off Smart Render from preferences. Maybe I'm missing something?

You are not getting confused with Smart Proxy, are you?
