After Effects only delays sound but not the video, the frame rate is fine
Hi!
For a presentation, I had to rip a video from the internet (.mp4) and edit just one scene. When I play it in QuickTime or Preview on my Mac, everything works fine. But when I import it into After Effects, the audio is delayed by about 200%, while the video looks fine.
When I render it in Media Encoder, the audio also gets messed up. I even converted the file to ProRes first in Media Encoder, but the problem remains. The same thing happens when I import it into Premiere Pro.
I can’t just speed up the audio because it won’t sync properly with the video anymore.
I also tried exporting the audio separately in QuickTime, it plays correctly there, but once I import it into After Effects, the delay comes back.
Interestingly, I edited a few other videos the same way and they work fine. So what’s going on with this one?

Wow, thanks so much for all the effort! Unfortunately, the preview was already at the same frame rate as the video (25 fps)😞 When I change it, the video itself speeds up as well. The video is fine, it’s just the audio that causes the issue :/

I uploaded the video. So when you play it, it’s fine but soon as you import it in Premiere or AE only the sound is delayed..

Thank you sooo much, it was the “try to open it in a different version of AE” that did it! So simple yet so helpful, it’s like the “did you try to restart it” advice that I didn’t think of 😂👵 thanks for putting so much effort in this problem. Have a great weekend!
Cheers!
