  Audio plays back in preview even after layer deleted

  Posted by Steve Thompson on March 1, 2008 at 6:26 pm

  AE CS3 8.0.2.27 – I have a pre-comp containing avi video + audio. I nest this pre-comp into main comp, time-remap nested comp layer, all ok. I mute audio on nested comp layer, audio still plays back in RAM preview. I remove nested comp layer from main comp, audio still plays back in preview. I remove all layers from main comp, audio STILL plays back in preview. It’s like AE won’t let go of audio. Where is it getting it from?

  I tried Purge All, deleted render files on disk, quit/restart AE – still audio plays back. At this point, I have an empty comp that plays back audio.

  Any ideas short of starting main comp all over?

  Do you have any shy layers?
