anyonw here working with AE and Audition?
Hi folks-
I use both AE and audition in making my tutorials. One of the things that urks me is that when I create markers in audition, they don;t show up in AE.
On the other hand, if I load the audio into a Sony product like Cinescore, the markers are there. There’s no reason a Sony product should respect Adobe markers, but not another adobe product.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting I need to know about? I can’t find any info about this anywhere, and I’m hoping that someone here has figured this out or knows something I don’t.
Thanks.
Aharon

Actually this is the result of a general messiness in how markers are used by different programs. Unfortunately there is no standardization in how those markers are to be treated, so probably they never implemented it in AE as they would have to cover quite a few possibilities. If you e.g. open Audition files in Soundforge or ProTools, their markers will always be interpreted as markers even if you defined a region in Audition or a play area in ProTools. The other way around Audition will completely screw markers added in Soundforge. There seems no way to avoid these problems except for keeping ones fingers crossed that Adobe may get around to implementing it.

yeah – looking at the adobe site, they gloss over audiotion markers.
But I find it odd that a Sony product can read them, while an Adobe product can’t.
Oh well. Thanks anyway.

My hunch is that when Audition was developed as Cool Edit, talking to other programs, especially video programs was not a big concern. That Adobe has not snapped to the marker issue is shame on them.
I’ve been tackling Final Cut as some people insist on using it and as a freelancer it’s becoming a financial necessity to learn… Anyway, the integration of the FCP suite, while not perfect, feels very thought out. On Adobe’s side, it feels more like add-on ‘benefits’ they tack on slowly over the various versions to keep us buying… BTW, have you noticed that the DVD markers in PPro 2.0 haven’t been implemented yet either.
OK, rant over. Well, almost. I know things like Bridge and Dynamic Link are nice, but it just seems like they could really nail the workflow stufff so much better.
