I am using mp3 audio clips in a video, and near the end of the clips, about 5 or 10 seconds from the end, the audio ends abruptly, even though the waveform on the timeline shows remaining audio.

Is there a workaround for this issue? I used to overcome this problem by putting the mp3 in it's own project, rendering it as an .wav file, and it would be fine, but that doesn't work any more.

Possibly this is related to different sampling rates on your MP3 files vs. your project audio?

Try a render of your MP4 to a 16bit / 48KHz wav?

Kinda' guessing about this, but differing sample rates in audio files can sometimes have odd implications for duration...

I'll try it, thanks Seth.

Jeff. Did you see that I uploaded the project?

Kim, I did not, I'll check it out. I'm furiously working on a video this evening, I'll check it out asap, thank you!

I know this is not much help, but I keep vegas 9 loaded up for those mp3 emergencies. Vegas 9 seems to work perfectly with mp3s where I have run into crazy issues with everything above under certain conditions while dealing with mp3s.

My work around is converting every mp3 I plan to use in a project to .wav

As a matter of fact, all my songs are in .wav format due to similar audio issues.

James, can you recommend a converter? I used to use Vegas to do this, but it doesn't overcome the issue I'm having.
