Can't import any audio file types into my project files in AECS5

I'm trying to add sound effects to a titles animation for the first time. When I tried to import a .wav file i got this error:
after effects error. Can't import file (filename.wav)  unsupported filetype or extension
So I converted the file to .mp3. Still didn't work. I converted the file to .aiff, wma and none worked.
Whats the problem? Better to just animate in AE and input sound effects in Premiere?
please help!

However, you did NOT answer Todd's very crucial question:
Are you running AE 10 without having done the free update to AE 10.0.1, which corrects a wealth of AE weirdness?  Hmmmmmm? 
That's the first thing to tend to if you haven't done it yet.
You have other issues going on as well.
Issue #1 is that you only have 4GB RAM, and for AE 10, that's absolutely NOTHING.  You need to get more memory, you need to get it right away, and you have to turn off multiprocessing and leave it off until you get more memory.  Think about bringing your machine up to 12 GB minimum to use multiprocessing.  You should tend to that next.
Issue #2 -- you have your media files on the same drive as your OS and applications.  This is very bad indeed.  You need to get an additional hard drive for your project files and media files.  A 1 TB internal hard drive costs what.... about $100 US?  That's the third thing to do.
Once you do all that, you ought to stand a fighting chance at getting your audio work done in AE.  And you should use either AIFF or WAV files.  Do NOT use any kind of compressed audio.  AE has NEVER worked well with compressed audio.
Can't afford to do all that hardware upgrading?  Got a video editing application?  Import your AE animation -- VIDEO ONLY, no audio -- and any audio files you need, including sound effects.  Do the work in the video editor.  Not only will it be faster, but easier.

  • Can I import a recording from SHDB into a project in LSMW?

    Hi,
    I'm working with LSMW, and i would like to know if it's possible to import o reuse a recording that already exists in transaction SHDB?
    I tried but it seems that i should create a new recording again in the lsmw althought there exits one that was created by the shdb.
    Thank you.
    Regards,
    Albio.-

    Hi,
      No, it is not possible to import the recording you have done using SHDB transaction to LSMW as LSMW has its own recording facility, and we need to make use of the one available in LSMW.

  • How to write a data type into an excel file?

    Hi everyone,
    What I am trying to do is to get some data from MS SQL then write into an excel file.
    stmtExcel.executeUpdate("Insert into [Output$] (CustomerID, ProductID, [Date], OrderQty) Values(" + rsSQL.getInt("CustomerID") + ", " + rsSQL.getInt("ProductID") + ", '" + (rsSQL.getString("Date")).substring(0,10) + "', " + rsSQL.getInt("OrderQty") + ")");
    There is no problem to write into an excel file, however, after all data is imported, excel sheet treats the the integers or dates as Text format. The funny part is, after I double click one of the cells with an integer value, that cell's format will be changed to integer, same thing happens with the date type.
    I am wondering if there is any way I can write an integer or whatever type into an excel file, which excel can recognize their own types instead of Text format. Thank you so much in advance.
    Sincerely,

    Yes, use an API that supports such things, like Andy
    Khan's JExcel:

    %Thanks, duffymo. I haven't tried it yet, but according to the website, it seems that is possible! thanks again!

  • I can't import any files or folders into Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 projects

    I can't import any files or folders into Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 projects. When I select import and then either files or folders, I am able to navigate to the drive where the media is being stored, but then when I scroll to locate the files or folders the drive disappears. This problem began as an intermittent problem, but now I cannot import any files or folders. This problem started when I upgraded my operating system to Yosemite version 10.10.2 on my mid-2010 Mac Pro running with 16 GB of memory and an ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB graphics card. Can anyone help me figure out and solve this serious problem? Thanks!

    Then just drag the files/folders from your hard drive into FCP.  Don't use the IMPORT option...just drag and drop.
    The problem started when you installed an OS that doesn't support FCP 7.  So if you want things to work smoothly, it's best to go back to an OS that did support FCP 7. Yosemite was written without taking FCP 7 functionality in mind, so it isn't fully functional. It might not do one thing for someone...but works for you in that respect. But then you can't do something else. The ways it doesn't work is always random.  Or it might work great for some people, because they don't use functions that might no longer work....so they don't notice it.

  • Can't import any .psd files into after effects.

    Hello all.
    I was using CS5 master collection without issue, for a year. 
    Decided to upgrade to the CS6 master collection and that’s when the problems began.
    For example, I can’t import any .psd files into AE.
    All files are saved in RGB mode.
    The previous files were made on CS5.
    I made a new .psd file in CS6 with just a couple of layers on it, couldn’t import that either.
    I’ve tried Ctrl-alt-shift to delete preferences, that had limited success. I can import a file and do a little bit of work on it but as soon as I close the file down and opened it up again, it does not recognise the .psd file.
    The errors I’m getting in AE are many
    For example:
    After Effects warning: Reading past end of file
    After Effects error: Could not open intro.psd because it is not a valid Photoshop document
    After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last logged message:<8104><dynamiclink><5>C:\ProgramFiles\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS6\Adobe Premiere Pro exe
    After Effects error: Not enough memory to initialise PSL
    I have un-installed and re-installed many times.
    I’m using Windows 8, with 32ram. Hard drives C: 100mg, D: 2 Tb
    I’ve tried installing on both drives, still the same thing happens. 
    Does anyone out there in Adobe Land have any ideas?
    Totally confused
    Cheers,
    Gary.

    Hi Arie,
    Thanks for your response.
    It actually happens with every .psd file regardless of size or specs.
    All the other programs in the CS6 master collection work fine, except for AE and PS.
    I tried the small file. Created a small file, 100 px by 100px 72dpi, just with a gradient background. Same thing, not enough memory to initialise PSL.
    I got the adobe cleaner, and re-installed on my system (again) .... same thing.
    As long as I open AE with doing ctrl-alt-shift every single time or export layers from PS individually I seem to be OK.
    The problem is far from solved, so I guess i just have to put up with workarounds.
    Thanks for taking the time to respond

  • Can I import .cda audio file in iTunes on my Macbook Pro with OS X Yosemite

    Can I import .cda audio file in iTunes on my Macbook Pro with OS X Yosemite

    iNads,
    .CDA files are simple index files, less than 1 kB in size, that do not contain any audio.  There is no reason to import them.
    If you have the physical CD and wish to rip it into iTunes, you can import it per this guide:  iTunes 12 for Mac: Import songs from CDs

  • I can't hear any audio in imported clips!

    The video clips were originally MPEG, then I converted them to MOV (at least I think) in QuickTime Pro. When I imported the movies into iMovie, I can't hear any audio. Please help! Thanks so much.

    The video clips were originally MPEG, then I converted them to MOV (at least I think) in QuickTime Pro. When I imported the movies into iMovie, I can't hear any audio.
    If the source files were "muxed" (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, VOB, etc.), then this is normal. QT applications (like QT Pro, iTunes, iMovie '06, GarageBand, etc.) cannot convert "muxed" formats and retain audio. In this case use an MPEG-based, third-party utility like MPEG Streamclip (free), FFmpegX (donation-ware), Visual Hub (pay-ware), etc. for your conversions. (NOTE: MPEG Streamclip requires the QT MPEG-2 Playback component be installed for the conversion of MPEG-2 content.)

  • I can't import any songs into iTunes.

    I can't import any songs into iTunes. I can drag and drop but nothing will happen. Songs show up when a search is done but songs cannot be played or located in iTunes. I think this has something to do with the recent update because I have songs imported into iTunes from December.

    I found the problem. I have VMware fusion that is hosting Window XP on the iMac. When the fusion is running the CD player is not seen in OS. By quitting Fusion I can now insert a CD and the disk icon appears on the OS screen. Now I can bring up iTunes and import the audio and continue as before. The one exception is I cannot bring in a photo of the album cover as before I have to drag the photo out of iPhoto and onto the desk top. Then I can drag it into the artwork patch in the iTunes/ info window.

  • Can't import any images into iPhoto

    Hello,
    I am on my honeymoon and trying to offload pictures from my camera but have found that I can not import any pictures into iPhoto. I am unable to import any file, not just the ones on my camera. I have tried jpgs, gifs, and pngs from various sources and none of them import.
    So far I have tried holding down option and creating a new library, deleting the plists, rebooting, and reapplying the latest iPhoto update. Does anyone else have suggestions for me to try?

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

    I somehow managed to change my destination folder in Lightroom when importing images and could not copy to the "location" (or as the right panel indicates, the "destination").
    So adjusted my destination folder and am back to importing as usual.

  • How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

    How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

    iDVD does not care about file sizes, as it compresses the file to the standard DVD format of mpeg2.
    It only cares about length i.e. max 2 hours including titles etc.
    iDVD encoding settings:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
    Short version:
    Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
    Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
    Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
    Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
    In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
    You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
    Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
    NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
    And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.
