Yes, I’ve just confirmed that there has been a temporary outage that blocked the use of Sync Settings.

I just used the feature successfully from After Effects.

Try again and let us know.

> The option is there but when I click nothing happens.

What happens for me is what’s supposed to happen: The Audio panel opens and comes to the foreground.

Questions about whether a GPU driver is compatible with your computer are questions for Nvidia.

My guess is that you’ve done something to the clips in Premiere Pro that is causing this change in behavior. An unaltered clip in Premiere Pro will come across as a clip/layer in After Effects, but—for example—a clip that uses certain effects or the Scale To Frame Size option will come across as a precomposition to encapsulate those changes.

Dave’s way is how to do it after the fact, but you can also open a footage item in the Footage panel before you add it to the composition, set an In point and an Out point, and then just use the trimmed footage item.

That is shown in the first video in this basics series:

> So we though of exporting a SWF file to take it to AE. This SWF is viewed correctly in Chrome and firefox. Though, when we import to AE, it only reads the first 2 frames and ignores the rest of the 153 frames.

From After Effects Help:

“Note: SWF files are imported with an alpha channel. Audio is not retained. Interactive content and scripted animation are not retained. Animation defined by keyframes in the main, top-level movie is retained.”

That is not how you preview audio in After Effects.
