Hi Dave,

AE 13.8.1.38 apparently still has the option under QuickTime in my output module.

I wasn’t sure if compressing using the same codec and similar bitrate would work like converting music in iTunes (say if you take a 256kbps AAC music file and convert it to a 256kbps AAC file, there’s no noticeable loss to my ear). Would there be some articles you could recommend? I know this must be very basic, but I’d like to have a grasp on it.

Hey Roei, thanks for the reply. I’m not familiar with the downsides of exporting H.264 via AE as opposed to AME – any insight for me on this one?

Hey guys, thanks for the replies. Any suggestions on how to export a project to “match” the quality and size of the compressed source footage using similar settings?

As an update, experimenting with the composition frame-rate seemed to help. 53FPS and above caused audio lag during Preview, but 52FPS and below did not. Raising composition FPS increased the amount of audio lag during preview, with severe audio pitch drops to compensate for lower rates of playback. It seems pretty clear that even with 13.8, AE still experiences the audio lag bug on older operating systems.

AE 13.8.1.38
OSX 10.10.5

Same issue as many above. I currently am editing 600fps footage interpreted as 60fps. No effects and a single WAV audio track. During Preview, audio stutters and changes pitch. “Cache Before Playback” is checked. By checking “Mute Audio When Preview Is Not Real-time” audio cuts out during preview. It’s evident Preview is not playing back at real-time when cached.

Workarounds:
1) Using Tilde to maximize the composition window resolved the issue.
2) Checking “Fullscreen” in the Preview window resolved this issue.

These workarounds don’t apply to a Standard workspace layout. Apparently a bug fix was issued in 13.7, but did this address the bug in OSes prior to El Capitan?
