Audio not playing
I can preview the audio track ( a .wav file) but when I render a movie with the audio enabled, the track isn’t playing.
It’s just a loop. Are there other settings within After Effects I need to check to ensure audio is played in the final movie?

Just to confirm… have you selected the render with audio option in the Output Module section of the Render Queue window?

Yes. It seems that only mp3 will actually sound with video. I’ve imported aiffs, wav and mp3’s though individually they all seem to sound if saved as a quicktime movie, when I add the video track, nothing but mp3 seems to play.
I just discovered that this afternoon, but it has to be a glitch or something. Surely AE can use anything it can import?

Problem solved. I had the darn ‘mute’ actually turned on! The pop-up tips are misleading. It says “Mute audio (if any)” and since the speaker icon was in full blast, i figured that meant it would be on rather than muted.
I created animations eith text within AE and imported Static images. The video clips I put in didn’t have any sound, so I imported loops I had in aiff, wav and mp3 formats.
I have 6.5 pro and I’ve installed FlashMX Professional which allows me to export to the flv format. When I export straight to swf format, all sound works.
I was using the Render Que extensively and check Audio, 8 bit since this was solely to be played on a computer and that was what was screwing me up.
However, scrubbing doesn’t seem to work with mp3’s so maybe that’s more nomal.
I’ve tested quite a few cmops since then and I don’t seem to have any problems with the mp3 format other than the scrubbing preview.
Anyway, thanks for your responses.
