  • after rendering an avi, audio playback has a ticking noise to it

    Posted by Anonymous on September 10, 2006 at 5:36 am

    i created a 2 minute clip….and dubbed music over it instead of the original track. Well when playing it, the audio has a ticking noise thru it…very annoying! I have never experienced it before! I tested the mp3 i used….and playing it alone its fine! Any thoughts? I rendered it as a no compression avi..like I allllways do….and switch the audio to 48000 kHz 16 bit stereo…like I always do! I even watched a portion on the timeline to see if it is ticking there….nada!

    Any thoughts?

    Are you on a MAC?

    I experienced this tick-noise thing when using MP3’s in my timelines with mac’s Final Cut Pro. It was rendering the MP3 very badly. Maybe they have fixed this now on their newer version, I don’t know.

    What I did though as a very simple work around, was to use QT (or any other player that alow you to convert audio) to save out the MP3 as a WAV or AIFF, and then use that with my project.

    Maybe you could do the same for your project in AE?

    I’ve seen (heard?) similiar problems when using certain MP3s. I converted the MP3 to wave using an audio program and that fixed it.

    I had a similar problem recently. I used Peak to change the sample rate on the MP file from 44k to 48k and that fixed the problem.

    Your audio levels could be clipping. While playing your track, watch the master levels to make sure that its not going into the reds. If it is, normalize it or just bring the levels down.
