You probably found the problem out since I see this post is over a year old. I discovered I turned on variable frame rate somehow which cuts the sound off.

My gh4 just started doing the same thing you are describing. This is a problem with the camera I believe. I am going to try and reset it in the settings to see if it fixes it. Let me know if you have solved this problem.
Thanks,

Yes Walter,
The problem I have is the camera operator did a poor job of keeping him centered in the video because the guy walking made sudden moves. Only when he is standing still or walking slowly does this work for me. So certain times I can do it as long as the camera keeps him centered. I was
thinking there might be a way to have the video, which would be under the graphic layer, somehow motion tracked to keep the speaker centered. Too much work and time even if I could do it. -
Thank you for your response. I would never have guessed that. My boss was asking if I could do this in post production.

My plan is to make 2 placeholders that can be changed out as needed for either portrait or landscape. The landscape photos will not fill the whole 1920×1080 at their final position, so I need to find a size that works good for the portrait and landscape, without changing the keyframes in the main comp. It won’t be perfect but it will give people a choice in case they have too many of one kind, portrait or landscape photos. This template will be used as a memorial video so old photos will need to be scanned for higher resolution as I see it depending on their aspect ratio. Any thoughts on this would be great.

That answered my question perfectly. I’ll make sure the placeholder never scales above 100 percent in the main comp. Thanks!

I forgot to mention the comp is 1920×1080.

I have had nothing but problems with windows 8. The computer shuts down when using multi processing in after effects sometimes but not always. Sometimes it shuts down while rendering a project and sometimes while I am working on a project. Project renders fine with multi processing turned off but then shuts down hours later for “memory dump error”. Never had that problem with windows 7, and no hardware changes have been made. All drivers are up to date. I am going back to windows 7, can’t afford to waste my time.

Check the box in the preview panel that says full screen and then click on the ram preview arrow in the preview panel you are in and the screen will change to true full screen previews, unlike the tilde which opens the panel to full size but not quite full screen.

Thanks again for your time Dan. I,m going to stop bugging you for now because you have spent way too much time with this newby. I greatly appreciate your input and was actually wondering if this could be done with just expressions as you suggested. The template picture size or placeholder would probably be one size, though I would like to make templates in 1080p or 720p which would require a different size placeholder or an expression as you suggested. Your website has helped me quite a lot and Trish and Chris Meyers new book has a small but helpful chapter on expressions. I’m only in the 4th chapter now of Marcus Geduld’s book and love they way he explains things. I see you were one of the contributers to his book. When I get better at expressions I’ll be back. I’ll copy your last post so I can reference it later. Take care Dan and thanks again.
