Failed Render sound

[Colin Braley]

Well if you really like the billygoat sound I have just the thing for you:
-Open up your effect controls pallete
-Place your mouse over the part that says something like Comp 1 * Layer 1
-Turn up speakers all the way
-Hold down shift and click your mouse
-Laugh a lot
-Repeat the previous steps until someone in the room gets angry and tells you to be quiet

…Now thats a useful After Effects tip for you

can you change the failed sound in OS X?

* Don’t like AE’s sound of a render completion? To change the render complete sound, see the Adobe doc to choose any sound you want. To return the “Happy-Happy-Joy-Joy”, in the prefernce file, change “Play classic render chime” = “0”. On the Mac OS9, replace ‘snd ‘ resource 128 for good render, 129 for the bad render sound.. You might also reduce the volume of the replacement file so that too doesn’t blast through your speakers or headphones.

i will try that, thanks Colin. You are a very wise guy. I found the failed render sound had gone away all together. I was hunting down a problem that was causing render crashes and wasn’t hearing the failed sound at all Billy Goat or not. Not hearing it meant that I had to babysit the machine more than needed. The billygoat always made me laugh. I’ll see if I can get it back.
