No sound in After Effects upon reopening the project.

Hi there,
I don't know if this is a glitch or something that I am just completely overlooking. I have a fairly complex project with lots of pre-comps within pre-comps. The footage is MTS files. I just opened this project up after sitting idle for 2 months, only to find that I cannot get any audio to play when I do a ram preview.
I've confirmed the audio box is checked in the ram preview options.
I've confirmed the file DOES have audio outside of AE.
Because there are several precomps I have gone to the deepest comp to play the actual layer with the audio to try that. Nothing. Even the waveform is flat. However, if I reveal the file in the project and RAM preview it I DO hear audio.
Two months ago it played fine and I'm sure the waveform showed up fine as well- though I rarely look at it so I can't confirm the visual of it.
Am I just missing something? My other projects are playing fine...
Thanks!
-Stephen

The files may have multiplexed, or muxed, audio: the audio's embedded in the video track. You could hear it in a player, but AE wouldn't be able to play it or even see the tracks: it needs a separate audio track.
The fix: use a different application to export a wave or aiff file of the audio, and use it in AE.

Set a custom duration field using VBA throws the message "Invalid duration" when reopening the Project

With a custom code we set Duration9 in Project 2013.
After executing the code everything seems to be ok.
After saving and reopening the Project it shows a message "Invalid Duration", and the value is shown as estimated (Questionmark).
In VBA create following code:
Sub SetDuration()
    Dim newVal As Long
    newVal = 14400
    Tasks(1).Duration9 = newVal
End Sub
Execute Code.
Close VBA.
Open the Project and you will get the same message box
The only way as far as I found out is to manually retype the Duration in that field. What is not exactly what I want.
Is this a bug in MSP or a hidden Feature? Does anyone has an idea?
Best Regards Steffen

I was able to replicate what you saw. I can't explain it per se, but this code seems to get around the issue:
Sub TESTDUR()
    Dim NewVal As String
    NewVal = "30d"
    ActiveProject.Tasks(1).Duration9 = NewVal
End Sub

Why does Firefox keep me logged into websites after closing and reopening the browser?

As of today, Firefox has been behaving differently. Namely, when I close Firefox and reopen, I am still logged in to email and other sites. I have all of my privacy settings checked, such as clear history, offline data, form history, etc etc so that they all will be deleted upon closing but this has no effect. Can someone provide insight as to why this is happening and how I can correct it? Before today, after closing and reopening the browser I was required to log in to any sites requiring UN and PW.
I have rechecked all history deletion options to make sure all the appropriate ones were selected. Yesterday, I noticed inbox.com and a program called 24x7 Help were installed on the computer, without my knowledge. I promptly uninstalled them,but I'm not sure if they could somehow be responsible for the odd behavior.

Such a behavior indicates that you keep the cookie(s) that verify that you are logged on to a web server.
Are you using session restore to open those tabs automatically?
* Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
You can set the <b>browser.sessionstore.privacy_level</b> pref to 2 (never) or 1 (non-HTTPS, default in Firefox 3 versions) on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable saving cookies via session restore.
You can change the browser.sessionstore.privacy_level_deferred pref that is used when you do not reopen the previous session automatically via "Show my windows and tabs from last time".

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
http://www.magnamana.com/finaldcp-released/
and there I import still images and the sound seperate?
That´s how it works?

While rendering a project in After Effects CC (Mac) , the application closes half way, saying it quit unexpectedly, Please Help!

So, I have created a cool project that was a lot of hard work in After Effects CC (Mac), While rendering a project in After Effects CC (Mac) , the application closes half way, saying it quit unexpectedly. Here is the link to an error log which is automatically recorded when After Effects crashes:- After Effects Crash (Mac) - Pastebin.com

Element 3d renders using your graphics card. Unlike After Effects, what GPU you're using matters a lot for Element.
As it is, you don't really have one.
You could try rendering an image sequence and then picking up your render where it left off when it crashes, but if a certain frame is just too much for your computer to handle, there's not much we can help with. I'd suggest adding a GPU that Element can use.

How much does Premiere Pro and After Effects rely on the hard drive it's installed on?

This may be a really dumb question, but how much does Premiere Pro and After Effects rely on the hard drive it's installed on if all your video files, assets, disk cache, etc are on different drives than the one the program itself is installed on?
The reason I am asking is that I currently have a "relatively" slow Sata II SSD for my C drive that has just my OS (windows 7 64bit) and programs (adobe editing programs, no games) installed on it and nothing else. All of the files used in my projects are saved on either a very fast Sata III SSD or a slower HDD depending on what the files are. For example, disk cache on the Sata III, stills on the HDD.
Being cyber monday I have the opportunity to buy another very fast Sata III SSD to replace my current Sata II SSD C Drive (just OS and programs). Both synthetic and real world benchmarks show a near double in performance. I just want to know if anyone thinks the upgrade is even worth it because for all I know there won't be any increase in performance since no videos, still, cach, etc will be stored on the C Drive.
The alternative is to get a second monitor because I currently only use one 21" monitor.
I suppose another alternative would be to not buy anything on the cyber monday deals and just save money for something else.
Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks Alex! I think you are right about not being able to notice the difference between the SSDs. I ended up finding a deal to get about $80 off a great monitor that I've been looking at for a while and decided to pull the trigger on it. I thought about it and realized that there have already been a bunch of times where I want to watch a tutorial on youtube and follow allong in AE or PrePro, but have to keep switching windows. I also frequently want to have my video preview on a separate monitor so I can have a taller timeline window. This monitor will help a lot with that. Thanks again for your help!

Please Help! I am on a mac version 10.6.8
You can only see the bar at the top

I have seen this occasionally and the solution is to delete the preferences file and re-launch. This is easily done by holding down Alt/Option + Ctrl/Cmnd + shift and clicking the AE icon on your dock to open AE. That should fix your problem. If it does not, reboot the computer and try deleting the preferences again before you open AE...

PE4 Saving My Presets effects when saving the project

I have created custom effects and saved them in 2 folders within My Presets Effects. I also exported the 2 folders in one ".prfpset" file. After I save the project and exit premiere, and reopen the project, My Presets effects are not present. I have to import the saved ".prfpset" file everytime. Is there a way to keep the My Presets effects as part of the project and/or premiere (just like the standard effects)????

Steve,
Thanks for your reply. Unforturnately the effects are not available in My Presets folder in any project that I open or create. So I have to import the exported ".prfpset" everytime. From what you are saying, the My Presets folder automatically becomes part of Premiere (and not only a project). Looks like I have a defect in Premiere or did something to unset an option to save.

I have an old project with AVCHD clips and I want to import the clips again with surround sound. How can I relink the project clips to the re-imported ones without doing the project from the begining?

I have an old project with AVCHD clips and I want to import the clips again with surround sound. How can I relink the project clips to the re-imported ones without doing the project from the begining?
I have a sony handicam and I imported the clips to iMovie and they lost quality and converted the audio to stereo. I want to import the project to final cut X and import the AVCHD in 1080p and surround sound and export the movie in bluray. Can I relink the clips without editing everything again?
thanks!

Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. If you want to remove them all then normally you could just sync an empty folder (in terms of photos) to the iPad, but as you don't want to sync at the moment you can't do that.
You can reset the iPad back to factory settings and start from scratch with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings

I've made a successful dvdproject. But now I can't reopen the project because it can't find a few photo files. Aren't they already in the project? The dvd plays fine.

I can't reopen the project, because it can't find a few photos.
I thought those were already in the project, as cutaways. (No slideshow)
Also, in "Share" I exported to Desktop. That gave me problems. I don't see "package contents" anywhere.
I got the .m4v file into iTunes, and got that into iDVD. But now I can't reopen, because of the photos.
I need a step-by-step "Share" routine to go by.
Thank you

Mr. Shippey,
I thought the video and cutaways, inserts, etc. were incorporated during "Share".
And not even during the iDVD processing?
I know you're supposed to find a "view package contents" when you right-click on.... something.
Then you do that, and the .m4v file is in there.
I know somewhere there's a "Share" tutorial. I don't have a good grasp of the whole "file structure".
So I might wind up making copies of these iDVDs.
Will they be the same good quality?
Thank you.

Why is my audio out of sync when I reopen the project?

Hi,
Newbie question:
I've synced my audio and video in the timeline, and linked everything, saved, etc, but when I reopen the project the next time I work on it, the audio is off again by a few frames.
I can't figure out why this is happening. What step(s) am I missing?

These are the details of my audio recording

No sound in After Effects upon reopening the project.
