Hi Edwin
It\’s probably something to do with the audio track being mono while the sequence is set up as stereo. Pp recognises it isn\’t a default stereo track and puts it on its own track.

I also did a tutorial about targeting tracks in pp which will show you to make sure your track goes to the right place (as long as it is the correct type – Mon or stereo).

Hope this helps

Hi Richard

I’m sorry, I hadn’t taken in that you are using AE 6, I doubt very much that these options are available to you although I don’t really know. I use the latest version so have answered on the basis of that.

As for colour profiles, you open your project and set the colour space for the project and then the colour space for the output and this should solve the problem.

Just a thought, but have a look at the output module in your render que in AE 6, I don’t know, but you may have a colour tab?

Sorry not to have been more help.

Hi Richard
Have a look at my tutorial on the AE colour space, it will show you how to set colour spaces for your project and why these shifts can happen and what you can do to avoid it.

Hi Kadshah

I\’m really pleased you are finding the tutorials helpful, there are three more uploaded on colour correction which should go live this week.

On the subject of tutorials, I am planning to sit down sometime this week to make a list of future pp tutorials and wondered if there were any subjects you would particularly like on that list? The more I know what people want, the easier it will be to prioritize my list.

Not to worry if you are too busy but any input would be welcome.

Thanks in advance

Hi Tom
Not sure what’s going on, but at a push you could use the rate stretch tool to stretch out the end of the video to match the end of the audio?

Hi Rodger

It sounds like you have some kind of background process running which is causing the stuttering. Once recorded the only way to get rid of it is to manually get in there and delete the repetitions 🙁

In future, I would record straight to the zoom and import the file and use that. However, if you are linking it with some screen capture do a short test first to check your screen capture software isn’t stuttering as well.

Could it be that you are still in the layer window and need to click on the tab at the top of the viewer to get back to the coposition view which would show the background gone?

Hope this helps

Hi Claudia

Aaron Rabinowitz has done some excellent tutorials on text animation in AE, I would recommend starting with those. Otherwise, I did a tutorial on the hidden presets in AE which will show you where to find the hidden built in 3d text animation presets. Along with many more.

In short, click the panel menu in the effects and presets panel and choose browse in bridge and it will take you to them. Then to apply, make sure your layer is selected and double click the preset in bridge you wish to apply.

Hope this helps

Hi Allan
It really should work perfectly, my own setup is similar but less powerful and I have no problems.

Try the following and see what happens. Firstly, do some capturing directly through the fireside port and don’t use the capture card and see how it plays. I have used capture cards in the past and they can cause problems.

Secondly, make sure there isn’t a conflict with the capture card. I used a matrix card and it used its own codecs and wanted to render certain items itself. If you can try without the card in the loop it may help.(if not make sure its drivers are also fully up to date).

If that doesn’t work, try a test sequence with GPU rendering off. For hdv your system should cope ok without GPU at least to see what the problem is.

The only other thing that may slow the system is if you are doing lots of layers of footage in your sequence picture-in-picture. If so, then the issue will come down to the speed of the drive with the footage on as it can only stream a certain data rate before it struggles. The answer to that is multiple drives in a RAID configuration.

Hope this helps – I suspect the capture card!
