Thanks Ty, sorry- no, I can’t even get the original file to play apart from that first 5 seconds, although at 700Mb there’s undoubtedly data there to tap into. Mike Velte has suggested a website with lots of audio file “fixers” (that I haven’t looked at yet) but I suspect they’ll be file converters, MP3 encoders, etc- though you never know, so I’ll check it out.
I would have thought that if the likes of Audition or Sound Forge can’t interpret the entire file, then what hope have shareware programs?
At this point I’m wondering about simply changing the file’s extension in Explorer (from.wav to .aiff for example- but that wouldn’t work) and forcing Audition or SF to examine the file in a different way. Any ideas what to try?
I don’t understand how all the file properties indicate a huge audio file, yet it only opens a small one.
Hmmm… wondering if one of the Windows DOS utilities might fix any corruptions in the file, but I’m getting out of my depth.

Cheers, Bag.

Thanks guys, it puts a slightly different slant on my audio interface shopping list. Cheers!

I call that a bit of a weird setting to have lurking in the GUI, but that was the problem! And every time I tried to reburn or render it just added another large file to the Project Folder, thus the size increasing all the time.
Cheers Jeff, good call.

Thanks Edward, I figured this out eventually but the result was quite blurred… however, I’m guessing that’s because I didn’t have that LARGE size to begin with.
The basic text tool does have scaling as well, which achieved something (the third party plug-ins don’t).
However, you’ve basically answered my question- multiple keyframes in the text generator don’t do the trick.
Thanks- thought I was going nuts.

Cheers, Graeme.

Actually, I’m having the same problem. Edward’s reply is fairly simple and straightforward- I understand. Yet I still can’t get a smooth, zooming-style transition between keyframes. The text just snaps to the new size when it hits the next keyframe. Is there a global setting that needs switching?
I’ll post this above.

Thanks Lee, much appreciated!

Thanks Chris- sorry I haven’t gotten back before. “Life” got in the way! Yes, I get these adverts from all over, but these ones in particular are from a quality DVD from the show’s promoters. At this rate, by the time I figure this out, the show’s will be here and gone!
I’ll try and get some more information and specifics.

Cheers, Graeme.

This isn’t too helpful… but as an author downunder there’s the Australian Publishers and Booksellers “industry” magazine that has book sales that are quite accurate.
I’m only suggesting that there may be a similar industry magazine, subscriber-only and not available on newsagents’ shelves, that might give you something.
Look up “Booktrak” (or Booktrack), too for a similar thing and maybe there’s a movie equivilent.

I had the same problem and solved it by converting them to AVI files. It surprised me, too!

Cheers, Graeme.

Theoretically… very theoretically… if you duplicate just the “echo” on another track and manage to line them up, you MIGHT phase-cancel some of the unwanted noise out, but there’s very little chance you’ll end up with anything that doesn’t sound weird. Alternatively, just duplicating the track itself and forcing some phase cancellation might do something useful.
This is kind of left-field… don’t waste too much time on the idea.

Graeme.
