Compose a movie with sound
by Serguei Nevarko on Aug 7, 2008 at 3:06:25 pm

When I Render my composition, I have no sound. Is it possible to change that and render with sound? If not, what is the point of having those sound effects...

You need to tell AE to render AND include sound. Add your comp to the Render Queue, then open the Output Module window. Select to include sound.

And DON'T use any mp3's in your comp! They won't work! Change 'em to aiffs or wavs!

I hate to confuse people, but I am curious...

.mp3 works just fine in my After Effects (CS3). I can scrub audio, render out video with the audio, no problems...

Is there a reason to not use .mp3 if I can, other than quality? Its not always possible for me to get my hands on an original .wav. I usually get music handed to me by clients and its all .mp3. Converting back to .wav won't gain me any quality as far as I know, and its a much larger file. If I started in .mp3 is there a reason to redo it to another audio codec?
