CS5 Audio sync problems

[Guillaume Charron]

We do have the same problem. We worked with wave and aiff audio. Both gave us problem with the ram preview and the render. Before, with cs4, we did have that problem.

[Martin Edlund]

It actually seems to work better when I convert the audio files to wav. I would prefer to be spared from this step, but at least it’s better than no audio at all (or wicked audio).

Just to chuck my hat in – I’m also getting this problem with an AIFF I generated from Ableton Live. Weirdness.

[Todd Kopriva]

Here’s a new technical support document on this issue, which acknowledges a known issue with AIFF, recommends transcoding to WAV, and mentions a fix that is in the works:

“Audio playback or RAM preview is scrambled or jumps around in After Effects CS5 or Premiere Pro CS5”

I’ve solved the same sync problem in AE replacing the .aif with .wav or a simple .mov quicktime movie containing the sound. Any sound editor capable to save as one of these formats will do the job.

Luis,

You shouldn’t need to do this, since the updates that I mention above fix issues with AIFF files.

Hi Todd,
Yes you’re right,
just to add this solution which works fine with another AE versions. This is an old issue in AE.
