Sound ahead of picture

That’s because you’re trying to RAM preview at full resolution and full screen size, and your computer can’t keep up. Need proof? Open the Info panel. When the RAM Preview plays back, you’ll see the frame rate for the preview. I’ll bet it’s saying NOT Real Time.

Nope. I’ve been at many resolution and sizes. Info pannel says “real time” playback.

Any other ideas?

have you tried bouncing the sound out of the clip from another application in a different format?

Like maybe opening the video clip in avid then bouncing out the audio as a wav or something, then bringing the file into AE? So then AE isn’t trying to read the audio from the video clip…

Ok…did that, brought the .wav from avid put it to the timeline in perfect sync to the picture in the track right above. Same thing. BUT ….I’ve decided that it appears that the picture seems to be moving slow. In other words maybe it’s not sound at all but the picture that not moving at the proper speed.

It’s set at 29.97.

Ideas?

I’ve been checking more projects I’ve done, this problem is accross the board.

Many of my projects are various graphic layers and a sound layer. In checking these I find in every case that the sound “sounds” right but the picture is not in syec, it starts very close to correct but by 3 sec or so has fallen way out.

As long as it’s in sync when rendered, I don’t see what the problem is. You won’t be showing this to your client by doing a RAM preview in AE.

By the way, are you using the zero key (on the numpad) to play a RAM preview, or simply using the spacebar? If you’re using the spacebar, that’s where you’re going wrong.

The problem is that you can’t work. If you can’t tell where the correct sound is or where the picture you can’t edit.

Follow me?

Using the zero key.
