Thanks for that Andrew. Its nice to have a refresher every now and again. Look fwd to the next tut. Thanks for everything.

I still have problems with QT. Is there no solution?

Yeah, thanks for the update. Oh yeah, your singing voice is probably better than mine, no matter how under the weather you are…yes, it’s that bad.

QuickTime, previous post please.

Thanks for the info, Andrew!

Hope you feel better soon!

I have trouble with audio.

It comes out all crackly and louder than it should be.

Any help ????

I use a vista and I think that might be it.

Thanks for the tips AK. I gotta be honest though, I’ve been intimidated with introducing audio into my After Effects workflow because I find it difficult to line your video up efficiently to it. It’s annoying having to keep ram previewing it just to see if it lines up right. I have to go back into your designer sfx dvd and watch a couple of tyhose tutorials again. I know u touched on it a bit.

I had some .ASF Material.
I converted it to Quicktime, but the Sound in the Output Video was….omg….horrible.
Well it´s pretty late in Germany
I´ll read the Post tomorrow
Kind regards from Germany

what the..

I seriously can’t live without you!

Get well soon mate.
No rush with the tuts.
As they say, ‘the best things…….

I just got over being sick.. hope you start feeling well.

designer sound effects?!

I was sick a week ago. Chamomile (I hope it’s the right English word) tea and honey will help you. And of course Vitamin C (oranges, lemons or any other citrus).

Hi Andrew,
many thanks for that.
Good to know where i can find these infos !

It is QuickTime 7.4 a must have for CS3 ?
I dont have it yet…

So you’re singing in the next tutorial, eh? I recommend Slippery Elm lozinges or tea, and that voice should be back in no time. Hope you feel better mate.

Hope you feel better man. Thanks for the post. Maybe you’re Raspy Voice will get more of the ladies watching your tutorials.. Hey.. Ya never know

I have found that when adding some audio files in after effects it comes up with the classic “windows has encountered an error and after effects must close” is this because it was an mp3 file

Forgot about the Crtl Scrub. If you want I’d suggest blending modes refresher. There is an awesome way to scrub through blending modes that everyone should know.

Frist sorry my english! I from China. But I Must write somthing for you !Because You make the work is great ！Thanks your all ！

Great info. Hope you get better soon.

keep up the work!!

Hello! Thanks for your opinion… I have sent to you a pretty question to your mail, but i havent receive any answer. The question: I have buy all of your products AK, i dont deserve a bonus? LOL

Great tips. Very well written too! Also wanted to give you a quick suggestion. You probably already have something better in the works but it would be great if your tuts were in categories like – Motion Grapics, Effects, 3D and so on.

Very helpful info. Andrew!!!!, u always help us with ur awesome knowledge.

Anyways, get well soon. Regards —– Sandy

spell mistake: i think its realtime not reatime! sorry i like doing this :D
But hey, take care of your voice and drink a lot of tea ,it will help ( my mother said that ) Dont hurry up, we can wait for the next tutorial!

Hey guys,

who can tell me when AE is really clipping/distorting Audio?

I wonder, because the Mixertool often shows up those red dots, which in Audio Programs means, that the Audio is digital over 0dB.
The difference is, that I can hear the distortions in Audioapps, but AE mixes never seem to crackle although the red warning is on…

Is AE 0dB “real” 0dB, ??

Singing voice????? ha ha! Hm something having to do with singing?

Great post, Andrew.

Actually the time remapping feature did affect audio in earlier versions of AE, I remember using it for that purpose in 2003. Can’t remember what version that was might have been 6.0.

did you compose the music first and than the ae project or
did you compose your after effects project suitably to the music?

Should I be able to import MP3 into After Effects?
I can’t at the moment.. Same goes for WMV.. Can’t important that

Thanks

Hi Andrew…off topic but have you seen this?

http://www.rerendered.com

Do you think this idea will work as a way that you could expand your sales (doing specific AE projects without doing a whole product package each time)

Hmm…just thinking of earning you more bucks.

I expect 10% by the way..hee hee!

andrew:

You said that you use another program to handle audio, which is such software, there may be some tutorial on that and because you use it?

Speaking of audio and speed changes: for those of you guys who haven’t checked out my CE TimeShuffler yet – it works with audio as well so make sure to check it out and create some crazy effects. http://maltaannon.com/after-effects/ce-timeshuffle/
Enjoy!

you couldn’t time this blogpost better Andrew! :p I’m working on a musicvideo for a schoolprosject now :p Anyways, good post!

Just wanted to say hi to “THE MAN” and that i prob would not even know how to use after effects if it was not for Andrew. Thanks Again.

They used one of your tutorial its the last part when it says “Jumper”

Wooow, I was looking for that ZERO key Thanks man!

hello andrew ,i m karim i was wonderoing if you can make a tutorial where you show how to make the effect of a tv screen which you did the sound fx promo

I have to say that this package is truly incredible!!! that’s it, short and sweet!

Informative and concise as always…
Do you know of any way to work with 5.1 surround sound in AE? Even just importing a 5.1 file (wav or ac3) without it performing a stereo mixdown? Quicktime H264 supports 5.1 audio but only from QT Pro as far as i can tell….

hy Andy, it will be nice to make some 3d max tutorials

I can’t change any settings in the Output Module…so my audio isn’t rendering at all…I can’t click on anything. Only the triangle tab next to Output Module can be clicked on…it pulls down, but nothing is changeable. Please help!

u r a genius man
plzzzz i want the projects files but i can’t reach it
i just want to know,did u upload them?
sry i can’t speak english well but i hope u understand me thnxxxxx

Hello! Can someone help me please. I cant hear my audio in after effects even it’s a .wav file. Thanks!

When I try and put any audio on after effects it just doesn’t even work.
It’s not just bad, it doesn’t play at all.

So, I put the videos on premiere pro to add audio, but when i export from premiere pro it the quality of the video is not half as good as it was straight out of after effects.
(in one case after premiere pro there were no stars left from the earth zoom out video, and there was a bunch of stars there before hand)

if you could help me with this I’d really appreciate it

hi andrew, i have a question, where do you put your sound in videos? cause in “Basic training – render tips” tutorial you said than you almos never use after effects for sound, and in submerged i saw, a good mesh of sound and all of them, i’m trying to use camtasia studio for it, but, i want to know “what do you use?” please respond 8^), sorry for my english.

I’m whatching all your tutorials again, you know, i have to use a chanse like your tutorials.

Andrew, I was doing the “Soul Removal” tutorial, and when I chose the effect “CC Particle World” to do that energy wipe there is a green line ! I tought that when I renderized this green line would go off, but it didn’t. I was doing just like you, and that green line shows up in every composition of mine. Would help me ? Please ! I don’t know how to make it disappear !

I am planning on buying Pro Scores and Designer Sound Fx but my question is are they compatible with Audacity and Soundforge? and what are the format of the files.

Thanks

/\ I FOUND IT ! I just realized that my CycoreFX was the demo version, so, if you have the same problem that I did, you should get the full version !

Andrew,

Thanks so much for all the AE audio info. I was wondering if you could help answer one more question.

I need to export a video in PAL 25fps / 720×576. The music track that I’m using isn’t cooperating. When I adjust the fps to 25 in AE or Final Cut, the audio starts to pop (sporadically, but noticeably). Here are the specs on the original music track: 15.6K.sec data rate, 44.1KHz, 32-bit. I’ve tried adjusting my audio output settings accordingly, but haven’t been able to get rid of the popping.

Do you have any suggestions for me? Thanks in advance for your help!
