Cant Import MP3 for classroom in a book

[Thayer Radic]

Ive heard similar stuff,

Why the heck would Classroom in a book put Mp3 files into their lessons.

Thanks for the help.

I’ll have to agree with Dave in many respects, AE will frequently let you import MP3 files, they’ll preview fine, and then render *very* poorly. You might get away with it if they are rendered very specifically (like no “joint stereo” or “variable bit rate” or any of the things that make MP3 compression work best). Why it won’t import now? Most likely you’re having some codec issue (you’ll run into that again when some client gives you a video file they made… use one of the tools like GSpot or some other method to find out what can make it work). The best routine is to always convert that MP3 back into a more solid, less compressed container like AIFF or WAV, or if possible, start with that. Just like applying JPEG compression (or virtually any other type), it achieves compression by throwing away information that usually isn’t noticeable after the first round.

Why did they include it? It either wasn’t thoroughly tested (it worked on the author’s machine), or it passed on the test machine.

The Classroom in a Book for Illustrator 9 I learned from skipped several steps (seemingly). After hacking on it quite a while, I sought other help & moved beyond. The bad part? I didn’t get to learn the lesson quickly and smoothly. The better part? I’ve discovered that when you have to learn something on your own, it sticks… and that’s why you get paid. You are going through this not just as a person that knows what the app *should* do, you are graduating to a “professional problem solver”.

Working with audio in AE is not fun to begin with. To hear it, you have to render. I prefer to work with audio in Premiere.

Color Grading presets for After Effects, Premiere, etc., plus free presets and more.
