  Is AE “happier” with demuxed video only?

  Posted by David Lincoln brooks on April 14, 2008 at 9:30 pm

  Hello guys,

  I’m importing into AECS3 a 24-minute bit of MPEG4 footage, small in dimension (360 x 240), and with a video bitrate of only 4 Mbits/s.

  The soundtrack, OTOH, may be a little heftier: it’s PCM Stereo, 192 bitrate 44.1 Khz.

  AE seems to choke, lag and crash on this footage after a little bit of editing. (I’ve got decent– if not stellar– CPU and RAM power to work with: 2gig AMD x64 and 4gigs of RAM, all on VISTA x64)

  Is it best that I simply divest this footage of its soundtrack and work solely with the video imagery (then hopefully reunite them perfectly later in PREMIERE)?

  I think it’s safe to say that AE is just not an audio editor, correct, and may even do better working on no audio at all..?

  Comments?

  Thanks, DLB
