Music not outputting properly
I’m doing this weird abstract-ish animation to a song (Such Great Heights by the Postal Service). It looks and sounds wonderful when RAM Previewing. But when I render out a test video, the audio does this weird sort of skip thing, where it plays normally for two seconds, then plays the second second (haha) about three times, then moves on… Even if I render out just the audio… What’s this all about? I’ve never seen this problem before. And if anyone can point me towards a good free place to host stuff, I’ll post audio examples.
I’m on After Effects 7, Windows, and the Audio is an mp3 file. I’ve also tried it with a WAV version. I’ve tried rendering out a Wav, a WMV, an AVI, and a MOV.
Someone please figure this out, I’m about to cry.

Yeah, I tried it with a WAV… It didn’t help.

I tried that though… I tried completely removing the mp3 from the project, and popping in the wav, and I did a RAM Preview: Sounds fine. Rendered out: Still messed up.
Thanks for the input everyone, keep it coming…

How is the WAV compressed?
Does this happen with all WAVs?
Does this happen with all projects?
Does this happen with AIFFs? -
The WAV is outputted from Audition with the default settings (32-bit, I think?)… and I haven’t tried using another WAV in this project yet, I’ll jump on that right now. And other wavs usually work fine in other projects…
I’ll go see if its just this song that’s being dumb…

Hmm… I tried importing a different random WAV, and it rendered out fine… It’s just this one then. I saved this copy of the song off the internet, because I’m making this animation out of pure boredom…
Does anyone have a copy of Such Great Heights by the Postal Service they can e-mail me? Unless someone can tell me why this doesn’t work…Thanks,

Thanks man… I mean, I bought it off iTunes too, but I can’t bring that into AE.
Thanks,

iTunes tunes are encoded — they’re proprietary, not “normal”, so you can’t bring them into AE.
It’s to prevent filesharing.
