Hello everyone, and thanks for all the suggestions.
GOT IT FIXED!!! As I told you early in the postings that my rough editing was done in Avid and then imported to AE for whatever.
In all the things I tried (and others suggested), the one thing I did not do was reboot the MOJO ( stand-alone hardware for digital and analog I/O in conjunction with Avid Express Pro HD). I was off tring to get audio to output to Camtasia Studio, when I determined to reboot the MOJO.
Although I don’t know why. I do know that NOW my AE timeline sources are now in preview sync again. So…for those out there that might be working with a system set-up like mine…look to the MOJO when you start to experience problems.
Thanks again to everyone.

Hi Jason, thanks for your ideas. However it did not work.
Actually it’s not the info pallette, that really only gives you color and positional info. However it’s right next to the “audio” pattette and “time controls” is right under that.
In the “audio” pallette the line at the top of the audio meter stays black (no red). I believe this indicates that’s it real time. In the “time controls” I show frame rate of 29.97, skiping no frames and using half resolution for my ram previews.
I mostly preview at 100% at half res. I tried as per your sugestion previewing all the way down to 12.5% and res. down to quarter. None of this made any difference.
I’ve got a idea. Tonigth I’ll use Camtasia Studio to record what it’s doing (audio and picture wise) about a 5 sec clip of the RAM preview in AE then I’ll paste a rendered 5 sec clip of what it looks like rendered. I’ll post that link tomorrow.
Perhaps one of you great moo cows will have a brain storm.

Ok…here’s a thought. I said that I’d did a clean uninstall of AE 7.0 and then reinstalled. BUT THE ONE THING I did not do was try to get any thing out of the Registry. I have a registry cleaner, but that just fixes errors (or that what it thinks are errors).
Does anybody have a idea how I might go about going through the Registry to REMOVE any and all referrences to AE?

Yes Steve. All projects and sources. BUT…as I said this just started, as I said…
“I should point out that this is a brand new problem that just started Saturday. I have never had this concern before. As a possible outside infulence, I have lost power a few times in the last couple of days due to ice storms here in the midwest. But after re-booting everything seems to be fine.
Now…as soon as I render anything out and then look at the render outside of AE…THEN the sync is returned to perfect. So the problem seems to be within AE only.”
I do have another workstation that is networked to the machine in question. AE 7.0 is working fine on that computer, all project and sources. But it’s a much smaller and older computer and run much/much slower.
At a real loss here to underestand what could be going on.

Hi Steve,
Preview does match the comp aspect. Working in 4:3.

Steve said…If you have a Decklink, you should try setting its preview prefs (in AE) to “faster”.
Steve—it is set to faster.
Mylenium says…”Maybe it somehow switched some setting in your audio preferences or the general configuration. Lagging/ delay usually only occurs when there is a discreapncy between device settings and the software.”
I can’t find anywhere to change audio preferences in AE. “Discreapncy between device settings and the software” <---this really dose not help me. What device settings? Quicktime rendered animations from AE play fine, Avide source plays fine, same placed footage plays fine in DVDit. It's only within AE 7.0 that this is happening. I tried clean reinstall, not luck. What else could it possably be? Jay Thompson

This is from John Dickson (IMHO one of the best)
https://www.motionworks.com.au/gallery/gallery_mgfx_mov_23.htmI asked him about the 3D camera work he wrote…
The camera was actually pretty easy to control, I parented the camera to a 3D null then set up expression effects linked to the null’s X and Z position, that way I could use sliders to track the camera left and right and dolly it in and out.
I asked for a bit more detail and he put together this “.aep”…

Figured it out. It’s embarrassing. Think I leave the knickers in a bunch as punishment.
