AE will not make a null when I convert audio to keyframes…
Having a bit of a problem. I have a WAV in AE. Trying to convert the audio to keyframes. It is the only audio in the comp. When I try to convert, a null “appears” in the comp window (but not in the timeline) when when I click off, it disappears, and I’m left where I started. No null. No keyframes. I don’t know what gives. Any help?

I know this is from forever ago, but incase anyone else has this problem – I had it too and found out why it might have been doing this.
Apparently when you create an audio keyframe null from a long audio track you need to wait a handful of seconds for it to process all the keyframes it’s creating. If you try to do anything (even if it’s not involved with the null, for example, saving your project) it will delete the null layer immediately.
tl;dr – give it a minute.

You just saved me a lot of frustration! I didnt post the question but just found your answer. Thanks!

Yeah, thanks man. That’s such a bizarre gotcha.

I was having this issue and nearly tearing my hair out- great tip, in addition, if you look to the top right box in AE it will give you a progress bar in %…. Happy AEing !

Thanks, that’s amazing!
I wonder if the guy who asked the question ever saw the answer 🙂
