  Music import into AE CS3

  Posted by Richard Chenoweth on January 14, 2008 at 3:27 pm

  I have read the threads about “no sound” in After Effects… I am still confused.

  Maybe this is a “protected music” issue.

  When I make my own recording in QT Pro, or bring in some sound from an “unprotected”
  source, the RAM Preview with sound works, the waveform works, the audio displays. Cool.

  When I import music from CDs I purchased, it also works fine.

  When I try to bring in music from iTunes, it’s a bust. I have used Streamclip converter, exported as .AIFF and imported this, reconverted to .MOV and imported that, and no sound
  whatsoever. I haven’t tried burning a disc then importing that .AIF.

  I’m guessing that importing music directly from iTunes purchase is just not possible. Can anyone confirm this?

  Yes. This is true. It’s copy protection on Apple’s part.

  I’ve also found results for Mac by googling:
