I agree that it sounds like an audio rate mismatch. (Yes, the audio was part of the original movie.) I see clearly that the frame rates are the same….how can I tell what the audio rate was/is?

My bosses would most like me to use Sorrenson 3 and render as a QT file for the sake of thier HD touch-screen app. That’s also the reason for the frame size. It’s specific for what this company does.

Thanks, Kevin.

Okay, I’m committed to using Sorenson 3 and rendering as a QT movie. That’s my goal and I’m sticking to it! ;p

The final product will be used on a HD touch-screen application. Just how the specific app works, I don’t know…I’m just the graphics person. All I know is that I’ve been told to render the file as a QT and to make the size 1280 x 768. I’m new to the job and I do what I’m told.

The file does not stutter in a RAM preview, but I don’t think that data rate is the issue since files that are much larger (bothe physically and file size)have played back fine.
Thanks.

I tried using the audio and video seperately, but it didn’t work out. The audio problem still exists. Of course I have to use AE to render the audio out as a WAV because that’s all that’s available to me here at work. Do you know of another way to change the MPEG file and seperate out the audio? (That doesn’t require buying another program?)
Thanks

Thanks a MILLION! I don’t know why, but even though I had set the frame rate in the comp settings correctly, it was wrong in the render settings. I just did a small render of the problem section and things seem to be okay now.

Thanks again!

Okay…like I said, I’m kinda new to this game, so bare with me if I give a stupid answer to one of your questions.

The infor on the source QT is:
Sorenson Video 3
720×480
Millions
fps: 29.97
Data Size: 14.95MB
Data Rate: 793.80KB

When I output the quicktime movie from AE:
Sorenson Video 3
1280×768
Millions
fps: 29.20
Data Size: 96.18MB
Data Rate: 837.12KB

I brought a the file I rendered (that stutters on play back) into AE and tried a RAM preview – stuttering is still there even in RAM preview. The only thing I changed is the size, but I’ve just noticed that the fps rate has changed. What’s up with that, and more importantly, how’s it fixed? Do you think that’s the problem since everything else seems to playback fine except for 2 of the 5 source clips?

I REALLY appreciate the help!
