I never did solve it….unfortunately. My workaround was changing the audio format from Uncompressed to Apple Lossless.

I had the same problem today. It ended up being that a blending mode was being used – Color Overlay. I was able to solve the problem by pre-composing the comp and then exporting to SWF. Poof! Problem solved.

Okay, I tried ditching the AE preferences by holding down command+option+shift while AE is starting up. That didn’t fix the issue. AE still won’t render audio using the default Uncompressed Audio format.
Anyone? I ran out of time and didn’t call Adobe today.

So if no one knows the answer, any suggestions on how I could fix the problem? Call Adobe? (I haven’t had good luck with that). Other forums?
Thanks

Thanks Dave and Jjm. Jim – that’s a very interesting idea. But I ended up doing what Dave said. I found an area where the spokesperson wasn’t looking at the camera which allowed me to edit her audio and not worry about lip-sync (because you can’t see her lips). That allowed me to negate using Time Stretch on any of the footage but still get her audio down to 29:15 seconds. I’m happy.
Thanks again. 🙂

No kidding? I guess I have used AE to slow down footage frequently and just assumed that speeding it up would look the same. But yeah, you’re right, normally I slow down footage to 200% (1/2 speed). 94% is a small fraction of a change.
Hmmm…… I need to figure out a different solution. Thanks!

Here’s some sample video from the project I’m having problems with.

No problem. But here’s just a guess….any chance it’s a audio sample rate mismatch? For example: AE is expecting 48k or 44.1k and your audio is actually 32k or something? (this is a common problem with some of the DV cameras that record both 32 and 48k audio.
Just trying to help! 🙂

I was having this same problem and here’s how I fixed it.
1) If I viewed the waveform and pressed the period key on the numeric keyboard AE would preview the audio, and it was in perfect sync with the waveform.
2) So then I double checked that I didn’t have any external monitoring set up in Preferences>Video Preview.
3) Then I tried a RAM preview (Multi-Processing turned on) and I noticed that it took much longer than normal to render the RAM Preview.
4) I looked at the Info pallet and noticed that at the bottom there was some red text that said “Playing 11fps – NOT REAL TIME. Color Space is turned on”.
5) So at the bottom of the Project window, I clicked on the 8 bpc (could be 16 or 32 in your case) and the Project Settings window opens. I went to the Work Space tab and turned Color Space to None.
THAT FIXED IT! Now when I did a RAM preview the Info Pallet would display “29.97 fps – Real Time”
BTW, this is on a brand new MacPro 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 16 GB of RAM. (16 total processors according to the Activity Monitor!) The video files were pulled from two G-SPEED esPro RAID’s. (plenty of speed)
Hope this helps! 🙂

I’m having the same problem. If I press the Space Bar FCP will play what ever is on the timeline as normal and I can view it as normal on our external monitor (using AJA Io HD). But I can’t get the user interface to unhide. I tried pressing the Exposé button and it just showed the other windows I had open, not FCP.
BTW, I use the Option key to hide applications, is this what you all are using as well? For example if I want to hide FCP I just hold down the Option key and click on the desktop (or onto another open application). This hides FCP and switches you to the other application. I’ve been using this method without issue for years.
Hmmmmmmmmm……………….
