Hi,

I am afraid I have the same problem here:

As I am working on an animation in AE CS4 (Win 7, 3 GB RAM) where everything is synchronized beat by beat, I have to use the audio at least at RAM Previews. (Final renders is image sequence, so it does not matter there.)
The audio I use here is 16 bit 44.1 kHz WAV file, the CD standard, NOT mp3. At Project Settings I use the 44.1 kHz. NO external footage with embedded audio used.

Here is my similar problem:

Usually after 7-8 RAM Preivew calculations AE always freezes when finishes the RAM Preview calculation. The whole applications halts and the mouse is still active, but I can not do anything, does not react to clicks, etc. This always happens exclusively only when my audio track is enabled to play.

All I can do is to kill the AE by the Windows 7 Task Manager.

I do understand that these audio-related tasks should be done in Premiere, but I have to use this WAV for creating proper and very detailed anim sync.

Is there any workaround to get rid of this kind of freeze?

Thanks,
Balazs

It is a bit clumsy to work this way, but a good tip!
Thanks.

Hi,

thanks for the answer. However there must be something different…

1. I create a simple Solid. The Anchor is in the middle.
2. Drag the lower right corner with the Selection Tool.
3. The Solid scales in all four direction! All I need is to just move the lower right point to scale it.

Any idea? It is AE CS4.

Hi,

I try to set the speed in the Foam plug-in, but the speed is always too high.

All speed related controls (Initial speed, Wind speed) are lowered but this is still very fast, I’d like to create a floating-like motion.

Is it possible with Foam?

Thanks, this was the solution.

I understand. However it is written in the Adobe Media Encoder help that I can import image sequences.

When I select the first and the last item of the image sequence, and add it to Media Encoder, it does not recognize it as a sequence, loads each image as a separate project instead.

How to import them as a sequence into Adobe Media Encoder?

Thanks,
B.

Ok, thanks.

Thanks, good to know.
