  • located missing file only imports half of the audio

    Posted by Scott Recab on February 6, 2009 at 8:28 pm

    I have finished multiple compositions in After Effects which all use parts of a 2.88gb AVI source file. This file was imported via a Premiere Pro sequence. All was fine but today I went to open up the original Premiere project when it asked to relocate this file which I browsed for and did. When it appears in the project only half of the audio has been imported. When I go back to my after effects project half the audio is missing as well. I have been saving as I have been going along under different project names but they all have the same problem with half the audio, waveform etc missing. The audio plays fine out side of adobe and it played fine in after effects until I rellocated the file. The audio has been edited and rearanged(with video) quite a bit so to start again would mean loosing a lot of time. Any help would be appreciated.

    Strange that it asked to locate the file. That only happens when you change file names or delete or move any files or folders. Right?

    If all the footage is from one source video clip, does that source footage contain all the audio if you drag it onto a new timeline? Or is the footage corrupted?

    I don’t normally use the dynamic link between AE and Premiere, but I would assume any changes to the timeline in either app automatically update in the other. Because you needed to relocate when opening the project in Pro, I have to believe the issue lies in there. How about going through its history states. Is it possible there was an accidental deletion somewhere along the line?

    What happens when you rename the source footage file, delete any preview files and then try and reopen the pproj file again? Same deal after relocating?
