Darby… I compared specific points on corresponding timelines in AE and FCP, and they all matched to the frame. This further indicates that it has something to do with AE’s export — right? Dave, I really don’t want to accept that after using AE 9 for a year that it decides to dump on me now. We’ve had a beautiful relationship thus far. On the other hand, the incredible issues I had with Premiere CS3 years ago, nothing would surprise me. Also, importing HDV as APR422 seems like such an incredible waste of space.

Thanks, Dave. I’ve never had this problem before, never had problems with AE 9 and long-gop HDV footage. All timelines in both programs match, and I haven’t compressed the audio any more than what was done already in camera. I have a strange suspicion that it’s somewhere in the AE export settings, but again, I haven’t changed anything since I last did this. My last option is to use the exported audio from AE, but the thought makes me cringe.

When you guys render out from AE, what format would you suggest exporting DVCPROHD and/or HDV for the best, lossless footage? I seem to lose a lot of red quality exporting in animation or h.264 codec. And also, I don’t want to export a 10 second AE file that is a gig in size… but beggars can’t be choosers, I suppose.

This did the trick! Thanks Dave!

Dave…
I think this might be my issue. The only difference between this timeline and all others is that this one is DV. Going to try a ProRes timeline.
Thanks

Open GL is off. This is really buggin’. As for your question, it isn’t necessary to export audio, I’m usually just finishing on AE and didn’t want to add any extra steps (and take up more drive storage), and especially the time to render again from FCP with a finished AE project. Extra round-tripping, ugh.
For now, I’ll keep playing with the settings in all my spare time until it exports correctly!
