    hi all, i have imported a qt movie into an after effects project, for some reason after 39 secs the audio just disappears, when i view the property inspector and play the qt movie it plays fine without any issues, when i open the audio properties in the composition i can see that the audio lines just become flat at 39 seconds but have no idea why! it’s a strange thing, i’m pretty new to ae so if anyone can shed some light would be very much appreciated!

    This may not be the issue, but it’s possible that AE is having problems with your audio because it’s compressed. Try bringing in the audio separately, preferably in an uncompressed format, and lining it up with your footage layer in the comp panel.

    I would suggest that you only use audio files in AE to figure out timing, though. Using a dedicated audio programme, if you have one, is a better method of tying audio to video than in AE.
