    Hi my name is Joshua

    I got this issue with AE CS3, and it’s that every time i try to import a video file to it, it comes out audio only. I can hear the video but I can’t see it. I try diferent formats and lengh. but it still comes out audio.

    But the strange thing is I open a proyect I started in the University (that contains videos files) I can see those videos perfectly but when I import another video, same problem audio only.

    Please help.

    A few things…

    First, open the file in QT (If it is a QT file) and check that there really is video in the file.

    Second, if there is video, in AE, in the project window you will want to right click the video and select intepret settings, now go to the alpha section and click none.

    Third, what type of video are you trying to bring in ??? Dave Laronde has an excellent repsonse to this type of thing that states what formats AE hates….maybe you are trying to bring in one of those formats.

    hope this helps

    Thanks guys for your help.

    I try to check that out and my videos files are:
    mpeg-4, avi, mp4, and others.

    I try to change the interpret thing and dosent let me do it. there’s nothing about alpha. It apears everything in blank and it dosen’t let me do any change.

    And another thing adobe premier pro dose the same thing. only audio. I starting to think something happen during instal.

    Maybe it is a video card issue…have you tried updating the drivers ??? Also, you shouldn’t have issues in Ae with AVI files, but the others may be on Dave’s infamous list.

    What video card are you using ???
