    Yep, thats true. But why would anyone use AE for audio renders? 99% of the time the rendered files go into a NLE, (for broadcast anyway) and they are better suited for audio work. I use Audition for tweaking audio, or making effects etc. For me, AE is only for pictures.

    My workflow is as follows…
    I make commercials for a regional TV station in Germany. We get our music and voice-over files from an audio studio in munich as .mp3s.
    I load the mp3s into AE, and use them ONLY to time my animations. Then I render out as QT, without audio. I put the film and audio together in the Avid and make a master tape. No problems. Although, like I say, I never render audio in AE. But the mp3s sound fine when I make a audio preview or ram render, and of course played out of the avid.

    best of luck
    Simon

  • Funny you should say that with such passion. I use .mp3s everyday with AE (v 6.5 pro) and have never had a problem.

    Sometimes a simple google search helps more than a user forum.

    Oh God…
    I drove to the other side of town to meet the guy, and to burn me a new file in animation. He gave me the files as Animation and native DV, but simply compressed the other film (you had it right, it was that apple uncompressed codec) and now it looks like shit. Heavy line artifacting through the movement no matter how I interpret the footage. I want to cry.
    A tip to any potential production customers reading…
    Try to keep your work with one producer or company. Dont split it around 3 different firms. Its lucky im such a mello type…
    Thanks anyway, Dave.

  • “Technically, everything I’ve made is “owned” by the company, so am I allowed to these materials for my own purposes?”

    Yes you are. As long as its not being sold, or is of a sensitive nature.

    Best advice I can give is leave the tits as they are.

    Yes, thats exactly what I mean. “Time Run” as in recording the time of day. And that is the crux of the problem
