Hi great forum, I am having the same problem, except I started my project with an .aif format as I read MP3 isn’t the best for output in AE, however three quarters way through the piece the audio goes out of sync and messes up my entire project, any ideas of what else it could be?

Im running AE 10.0 on MAC OSX, all the content is vectors imported from AE, with an audio file as noted in .aif, just with a few adjestment layers but the piece is fairly simple. Any ideas what it could be?

Hi there,

I have encountered a similar problem. I am very new to AE, just started it before christmas and I am doing my 3rd project in it, teaching myself by tutorials as I go. With my latest project I am creating a kinetic type piece which is timed to music. The piece has been approved and is running perfectly in time in AE ram preview. All is perfect. However when I render it (Bear in mind I render it at high resolution in QT with audio output and the audio file I have used is .aif as I read this is the best audio format for outputting) three quarters the way through the video piece the music starts to skip and go out of beat with itself, quite oddly like the original post. Therefore all the timed animation pieces are therefore out of sync and the piece loses all of its sense of beat/timing. I have gone through many forums but to no luck, I even tried outputting it into adobe media encoder (but that has opened up another layer of problems as it leaves out my blur adjustment layers) any help would be greatly appreciated, I am a student currently doing an internship and this is for a real job so it would be great if I could rectify this issue soon.

Many thanks!
