Okay… fair enough! (-:

As it turns out, there were other fundamental problems with this video footage, too, so I’ll just chalk it all up to beginner’s errors and learn from it.

Thanks, all!

I am SO glad that you guys set me straight on this little issue…. especially as the Helpfiles very blithely state that AECS3 is happy both accepting and exporting MP3 audiotracks.

I absolutely know that AE is not meant to be an audio editing environment at all… but I figured surely it would let my audio “pass through unscathed”, as it were.

Thanks, Brian and Serge for your most helpful responses. On vous remercie bien!

Now one more noob question: Am I right in thinking that a bunch of filters and keyframes could be applied to the low-quality proxy…. And then later on the high-quality footage could be brought in in its stead, and the filter settings and filter keyframes would “do their thing” in exactly the same places? Nothing “lost in translation” ?
