On two seperate machines with two different tapes and two different cameras, SE captures DV footage but when I import it into a timeline there is no audio (audio track is displayed as a constant flat line). The audio meters are even moving when I capture. :hat: I'll call it my dunce cap. Any ideas?

Are you giving SE a chance to "conform" the audio (create the waveform and peak level files it needs)? If the clips are large it can take awhile. This only needs to happen the first time you bring a clip into a project, as long as those files aren't later deleted.

Yeah, I am sure it conformed. I usually get the ----- when conforming, but this is a solid flat line.
The audio being imported is low, but does show up on the capture panel meters. When I finish importing and drop it in a timeline the audio is displayed as a flatline. The footage imports into Premiere Pro with audio...so I have a work around but for simplicities sake I would rather not open Adobe.
