  • Problems with After Effects Audio while rendering

    Posted by General Confusion on December 30, 2005 at 4:19 am

    I am using After Effects to condense a short film originally rendered in Premiere Pro, but continuously receive the same error message. The original film has an audio track with the following specs 32.000 kHz/16/bit/stereo. I have matched the identical settings in the AE render queue, and have also lowered the quality, but I always get this same message: After Effects error: opening sound component (-2166).(10::44) Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    Can you preview the audio in After Effects? What format is the movie and audio?

    Thanks Mav-
    The movie is a quicktime film and the audio was a wav. file. I can RAM preview it, but I can’t render it completely without the error message coming up.

    That’s strange. I would try searching the forums at Adobe. Also, you may want to try separating the audio from the video and importing it into AE by itself.

    If you find the solution to this problem I would love to know. I get the same error. I have a individual .wav file that plays fine seperately. When I try to render in AE it gives me that exact error message. Ugh! Every now and then it will do a ram preview with it, but it definately will not render as a movie.

    Downgrade your quicktime. I did it and it worked for me
