Audio fade different in preview and render!?
I’ve noticed something very strange in AE (CS4 on Mac) recently…
Been doing some basic edits in AE as my content is a non-standard pixel size and so not feasible in Premiere…
Basically when I fade down ones track as another is fading up (essentially a crossfade) hwen I playback in RAM preview or by hitting period key it fades as expected.
HOWEVER, when rendering out to any movie or audio format and playing that file back the fade is totally different! Where there was a nice smooth fade through before I now have it dip down and then back up again.
Any thoughts guys?

These are 48khz WAVs and my project is set to 48KHz aswell. It’s very odd!

I use the Stereo Mixer effect to do all of my animation of audio levels. I suggest giving that a shot and seeing if it behaves better for you.

Second that.

Just ran into this exact issue with a project I am working on. Pulled all the audio keyframes off and applied stereo mixer to everything and keyframed it from there. Problem solved!
Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for the tips, this is still an issue in CS5.5
For me it turned out to be a sample rate mismatch between source material and project output settings.
Good job After Effects isn’t an expensive piece of software aimed at professionals.Oh, wait…
