  • importing swf–no audio!

    Posted by Mike Brownstein on March 12, 2006 at 5:35 pm

    Hi,
    I just created an swf file with audio (it plays both graphics and audio in flash player) but when I import it into AE (I’m using 6.5 pro), there’s no audio.
    I experimented by solely importing the mp3 file I used and it didn’t play the audio in the preview, but included it when I rendered.
    What can I do to make it play both? Should I export from Flash as a quicktime file vs. an swf? How can I get audio to play in preview?
    Thanks

    Thanks, Dave. I’ll try it and see if it works. I doesn’t make sense to me, especially now that Abode owns Flash, that swf files can’t be imported easier. And while I love AE, gee, the mp3 thing is very disconcerting–especially if you’re working with big audio files. AIFF’s can be monsters.

    Tried exporting the flash file as a quicktime (using animation codec, and actually keeping the mp3) and it worked. Thanks! Now, if I could only figure out why the imported swf file won’t import the audio. Anyone here have any ideas/solutions? Or is quicktime the only way to go?
    Thanks

    thanks for the tip, Dave. Will try…(still wondering about why AE doesn’t recognize swf’s….)
