  • MultipleSound Files. Not Good?

    Posted by Aharon Charnov on November 21, 2010 at 11:08 pm

    I know AE is not an editing program but I am doing some effects to specific sounds that are independent of my dialogue track. When I ram preview my movie I hear the dialogue and see the visuals. But the minute I add an additional .aif file to the comp, I lose my dialogue but I do hear the sound effect. CAN AE not do more that one sound file in a comp? IU really need to stay flexible and don’t want to merge all my sound yet.

    Is there a way to hear my dialogue and SFX at the same time during the same ram-preview?

    Dave:

    Thanks for the input. Yes, if I add some sounds to a comp I SHOULD hear both sounds. But I’m not. I have Audio on and yet if I have more than one .aif in the comp (even if one is pre-comped) I cannot hear audio at all when I do any sort of previewing. When I render out a movie, the sound does carry over, so it’s not completely broken. I have never had this happen before. Still trying to figure it out. As I said I made sure Audio was on….

    I opened a new project and did some tests. They all worked so I am really at a loss. Could it be the size of the .aif? The larger one is really quite big although I am previewing only sections as I go through my work area in small increments… As I said, I am a bit stumped.

    BTW thanks for the link. Sooner or later I read everything.
