Audio won’t render in Pre-comp
I have a project with multiple pre-comps and a Final composition. When I RAM preview from within the precomp the audio plays with no problem, however when I RAM Preview the Final composition the audio won’t play from that precomp but will play the audio that is in the final composition.
For example:
1) I have a scene with mov clips (including audio) sequenced together. The audio plays fine when I preview.
2) I precomped that sequence to create the final composition so I can add the music and post effects. The music plays fine but the audio from the sequenced comp does not.
I have checked the audio on and made sure that the levels are up. I can work around this but I was hoping to know what’s causing this for future reference.
Thanks!

I am working with
Mac OS X (10.6.4)
2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
8GB RAM
AE CS5I’m thinking it was some kind of bug or corruption because I just put all of my assets into a separate comp and all worked fine.
Thanks Dave!

Dave is right….as always. I rarely edit audio in After Effects–very clumsy and difficult to get just right. Take the rendered video file into your favorite NLE and then work with audio. I typically rough out the audio in the NLE and export a track to use in After Effects as a reference for timing out effects, then go back into NLE (Avid or FCP are my usuals) and fine tune the audio on a final pass.
