I am not that new to AE…. If RAM Preview had been the problem, i would have solved it right away. No threads here have dealt with this exact issue.
Like I said, the problem is that AE doesn’t recognize the file as an audio file. I therefore cannot RAM prewiev it with the video. Neither does it work with only audio preview. The transform drop menu in the composition window also isn’t operative. I only get the lock symbol at the left side, not the “eye”, the “speaker” and the “dot”.
Also the audio file doesn’t play from the project window. I have used several versions of AE earlier, with no complications.
