No audio or sound in After Effects CC

I have imported footage that works fine in Prelude but not at all well in AE. There is always a problem with the imported footage. But mainly there is never any audio or sound. I have read a few other post and tried the recommended solutions to no avail.

We need to know a lot more if we're going to help you. Please provide answers to the questions listed here: "FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?"

5.1 sound in After Effects?

How do I import and export 5.1 sound in After Effects?
I have version 5.5.
The file will then be converted to a dcp file
/Mattias

The sound comes from an editor who is a pro and knows how to deliver 5.1.
I also have premiere ( 5.5 ) so I guess I can import the film and the audio in there and then export for a convert to DCP.
Or if I understand you right I can use a CDP processing software like

and there I import still images and the sound seperate?
That´s how it works?

No sound or audio at all in After Effects CS5 on my iMac?

Hey,
I recently upgraded from After effects CS4 to CS5 and now i have realised there is no audio whats so ever in the program! I've have gone through everything that my knowledge knows of and i can't find any reason why it shouldn't work! It wont render with audio, wont even give me a RAM Preview with audio. I've tried to change the audio hardware settings, and still nothing! Please help!
Thanks,
Jack.

i can't find any reason why it shouldn't work!
You're using a Mac! (sorry, couldn't help it...) Anyway, no sound at all would point to a fundamental issue with Quicktime and its audio configuration, so consider re-installing it and also do the usual of installing QT 7 in Addition to QT X. Also check your Library for third-party QT extensions that may cause interference...

Sound in after effects?

For some reason, sound layers do not preview in after effects. Does anyone know why and how I could change that?

Start by reading these two FAQ entries:
How can I play or preview sound (audio)?
Why is there no audio (sound) in my output file?
Answer back regarding whether these addressed your issue. If not, we can help further.

You can change the amount of audio that is rendered for previews, which can be useful if you're running into memory problems.
The amount of audio that is rendered for previews is specified by the Duration setting in the Previews preferences.

Audio not woking in after effects.

I have started using after effects, but am unable to get the audio working. I have tried using RAM preview, letting it play all the way through, but it just loops without the audio. I have also tried pressing the period and/or 0 on the num keyboard, and still nothing. When I try to preview the sound only by pressing "period", the audio panel says I am getting audio, but I cannot here it through my speakers. My speakers are working fine by the way (they are not muted or anything).
Thank you for your help.

Glad you think AE's worth your time to learn. But AE comes with its own set of things you need to know before you can do useful stuff. So go here:

Blow it off at your peril, even if you only want to do one thing that seems simple to you.

Audio problem in Adobe After Effects CS6

When ever i import a clip into adobe after effects cs6 the program does not read my clips audio i know how to ram preview its just the program doesnt read the audio what so ever but when i preview the clip on my desktop using windows media player it works fine and you can here the audio. My clips are recorded by my HDPVR Haupauge and it records in m2ts file someone please help me this is a serious problem with this program

Hi,
When you installed the full version, DId it install "Over" the existing one, or is it seen as a new installation (Sorry, I have never re-installed AE, so I am not sure of the way it works) - but coming from an IT background, sometimes installing a bought version, will overwrite all user settings that were set up in the trial.
In other words, recheck all the program user properties and audio check boxes to make sure the re-installation did not reset something to "off".
There are a few Audio discussions going around today, check the forum and give them a quick read to get a reminder of where all the possible Adio "on/off" switches are hidden.
Hope that helps

No sound in After Effects?

I have After Effects CS5.5 and can't hear any audio within the program (minus the "beep") when something finishes rendering). Anyways I was watching this tutorial on youtube and the creator of the video had audio in his. Several people in the comments mentioned not having audio so apparently this is a common problem. Anything I can do to get the audio on?
Thanks,
-WooDy

That's right. Here's a screenshot I recently took for a similar post. It's a list of places to check when you're not hearing audio.
a.) Make sure the audio switch is turned on for the layer.
b.) Make sure the clip itself actually has audio and the db setting makes it audible by checking the waveforms.
c.) Make sure the audio switch is turned on in the Ram Preview Panel.

Sequence from Premiere Pro has no Sound in After Effects

I created a video Premiere CS5.5 and would now like to take the final cut into After Effects CS5.5. I exported the file as an AVI
(NTSC DV, uncompressed audio) and it plays well in every player I've tried it in. However, now that I'd like to just drop the file into AE the
audio will not play. There is a waveform being displayed for the layer but the audio mixer display doesn't even react when I play it in AE.
Any thoughts?

Audio enabled in Preview Panel?
Does audio play when you press the . on the numeric keypad or pick Composition>Preview>Audio?
Are you using the 0 key on the numeric keypad or the Preview button on the Preview Panel to generate a ram preview?
Will a standard wav file play?
Are you an AE Newbie?
Did you read this FAQ on audio playback?
Did you read the AE Help file on Audio Preview and Playback?

I'm using After Effects 7 Pro that I purchased with Production Studio Premium.
Everytime I try to import an audio file I get this Error Message.
"After Effects: AEGP Plugin AEGP Internal: Bad WAV Options (5027 ::12)"
It will import video files that audio in them fine....but not import stand-alone audio files.
I also have Adobe Premiere CS4 installed on my computer and audio files import and playback fine.
Need help ASAP as I have project I'm working on where I need to be able to import audio files.

You're using an application that was written and tested several years before that operating system even existed. Windows 7 is not a supported operating system for Afer Effects 7.

Why does my footage Slow down and loose audio when imported to after effects cs6?

Whenever I import video of any kind into after effects, it slows down and looses audio. It happens for every video. The weird thing is, it seems like it doesnt happen to anyone else on the internet. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE!!!! I am about to cry. I cant do anything with this stupid software! If there is a solution please tell me. Its really annoying.
extra info-
On Mac
mov. Files
H.264 codec

Slows down when? When you preview? Do you know how to preview?
If you are pressing the space bar to preview the video then the behavior you are seeing is normal. AE will not playback in real time with autio unless you do a ram preview (look it up). You must learn to use the software.

Dynamic Link Audio Troubleshooting- Premier to After Effects CS5

Hello!
My name is Alley and I've been working on a project in After Effects CS5 using dynamic linked sequences from premier. I've been in this project for a good two weeks without any major problems concerning the dynamic link. When I open the project on another computer, however, sometimes there is audio missing from some of the sequences. I look in the premier project and sure enough the audio is all there, no keyframes or anything and it plays back fine. It just won't appear in After Effects even after a render. I know it probably has something to do with the different computers but I don't know if anyone else has ever had this problem before and if you found a solution.
• Both computers are Mac OS X Versions 10.6.6 2x2.8 GHz Quad-Cores
• After Effects and Premier are CS5 versions, completely updated
• There are no errors or warnings popping up within the programs
• All Dynamic Linked sequences are 2 minutes tops although there are a multiple of them
• Not ALL the sequences have the audio problem, it seems to be random
I can't wrap my brain around how two nearly identical computers with the same versions of both programs are getting different results with the audio in the dynamic link sequence... Help me out?

Quicktime! The versions of Quicktime and or even just some QT component/CoDec may be different between the computers. Also keep in mind, that your alternate computer may in fact require you to explicitly open the project in Premiere to conform the audio properly first. If that hasn't happened, AE may simply not be able to use some tracks as it will expect a conformed audio file. This is critical especialyl with compressed formats. It may even require you to re-render the Premiere timeline on the second computer...

I need help fast please an't render my full audio equalizer from adobe after effect

I need help really fast i can't render my full audio equalizer from adobe after effect

Without knowing any details about your comp or render settings, this is going nowhere. This could be anything from Quicktime acting up to having set the work area.... We don't even know what version of AE you use on what OS.

Edit to tape audio promlem - sounds like "chorus" effect

I have tried to Edit to Tape an HDV Sequence, down converted to SD, to a Digibeta deck.
When I monitor (headphone out of digibeta deck) while recording it sounds normal. When I rewind and check tape it sounds like the audio is "doubled up", almost like a very short chorus effect is on the audio. as well as this I can hear what sounds like tape crackle now and again.
However - when I do a straight crash record from the timeline - the audio plays back fine, no crackle.
So thinking it was an edit to tape settings problem i clicked on the audio button in the edit to tape window and notice audio was set to ALL ON. I changed this to A1 and A2 on, thinking that my extra audio tracks (which I had disabled, these where the original audio, not the OMF exported stereo mix) were somehow going down the SDI anyway...
No luck - did the edit to tape again and still sounded the same.
My heart rate has returned to normal now as the network kindly will accept the crash record with non standard timecode - but I of course still want to find out the problem so this doesn't happen again next week....
The Sequence was HDV 1080i, via a Decklink HD Extreme Capture Card, set to down convert to anamorphic 16:9. Sony Digibeta DVW-A500P deck.
Anyone know what the problem could be?
thanks
Hugh

for the benefit of anyone who searches for forum for a similar problem - it appears to have been a sync issue. changing "out ref" to "input video" appears to have fixed it.

Render settings for audio for film in After Effects

Hi there,
I am trying to export my film with dialogue. My original audio file is in WAV which is CRISP! And when I add it to the video in AE and export it, it reduces in quality atleast 10x!
When I rendered it in quicktime with uncompressed codec, it turned out pretty close to the original.
But the file size was.....3GB!! (The film is 7 minutes long). But when I render it using H.264 using AAC, the audio sounds horrible and rough.
Also, which audio codec do I use? What's the difference between AAC, AAC Version 1 and AAC Version 2? How can I reduce the file size without losing out on SO MUCH quality?
Thanks for the help in advance!
Cheers,
Nikhita
P.S: I have used 48KHz, Stereo and 32 float for the original as well as the export settings. It's the codec that's messing things up. So help!

The final audio mixing has been done in Adobe Audition, and exported as a wav file. Is there a standard preset which will not destroy the sound quality while shrinking the file size? I tried using H.264. The image quality is great but the sound is terrible as H.264 doesn't have great audio codecs. What preset should I use for good sound AND good audio with a decent file size?
