Hi Steve. No there is no waveform associated with the clip in the timeline. No preview with the period key. It doesn’t seem to matter what codec, it’s just pissed with all HD footage. Here’s the weird bit though, I can preview the clip with audio from the project window. It’s just when I apply the clip to a comp that the audio goes walkabout. All other footage is fine (ie SD or smaller).
I have completely removed CS3 from my mac and reinstalled and the problem remains. I have spoken with Adobe support and they too are stumped. I suspect that some other program is interfering. Although I must admit CS3 is really letting me down with all it’s out of memory bugs (I have more RAM than you could poke a stick at) and QuickTime export errors. I have never had a problem with AE prior to this release and I have been a user since 4.
What to do??????
