    Hello – I am editing a narrated animation in AE v.7 and the audio is out of sync when I do a RAM preview.

    If I isolate the audio playback by hitting “.” it plays fine with the playback head in the appropriate position. When I do a RAM preview with my video, I know the playback head is not playing the audio where it should (eg the audio ends before the head reaches the end of the clip). Timing the audio to the visuals is important. There are Comps within Comps and the audio is from a .mov file ported over from Final Cut.

    Thanks!

    You are right on about the Info Window – I’m not running at real time. However, I lowered my Comp Window to 33.3% and dropped the resolution to 1/3 and I still run into the same issue. Any thoughts?

    I had H.264 footage in my project, but not in any of the comps I was using. To be safe I went ahead and deleted them from my project to see, and I converted my .mov Voice Over file into a .aiff…..but didn’t change a thing when I did a new RAM preview.

    Any chance this has to do with a Memory, cache or scratch disk issue? I lowered mine according to recomendations Graham Jones made for running AE 7 on an Intel Mac. I boosted them back up to 90% and 80% just to see if it made a change, but nothing.

    I switched my VO over to an aiff file when I ripped out all of the movie files. Darn.

    Regardless, thanks for your help. I certainly appreciated it.
