Adobe After Effects CS6 Tutorial - How To Add Audio

[@DustyPorter]

You are very welcome! I am glad that you got something from this vid!

[@JasonRegis]

thanks man, rendering now.... this video was a huge help

[@RandomGameplayRG]

i can just hear the music when im render it but when i press play i cant hear it help

[@m1key12]

Same... How do we fix that?

[@peterplantec6576]

This was helpful. I usually add audio in Premiere and forgot the silly way you have to do it in AE. They really should fix this making it far more intuitive.

[@DustyPorter]

Peter Plantec Great! Glad to help!

Technologyguru77 When I press RAM Preview, It plays the music in Slow Mo??? Why?!

[@kurumidzn5502]

My problem is ram preview i click and the sound is 2x speed. why?

[@RamGames]

I love these tutorials. I cant tell you how long i searched for this and this was the only freaking one that ACTUALLY showed me how to do it. *jumps on mario question block* +1 sub!

[@shameermontepadavu8868]

Thank you sir... You solved my problem... Love from India

[@DustyPorter]

You are very welcome! I am glad this helped you.

[@DustyPorter]

Under the audio Down arrow there is an option that says DB's. All you need to do is adjust that down or up accordingly.

[@TheLivingDeadOne]

That helps,. I was wondering what was wrong. But you cant make any audio adjustments in real time, can you? Not the application for audio.

[@nixonjones9543]

thanks man.. this help.. i did really thought i was doing something wrong with the audio that i couldn't hear it

[@TesPizze]

This helped me alot, thanks man! But I have an issue, when I press the RAM Preview button, the audio file will not render, it just plays for a coupple of seconds and then it starts over. Cant find help anywhere,and i really need to fix this so i can edit the audio recording for my school project. Any help is appreciated. :)

[@bendothemailman]

So I have the video I want to do all set up, it is an intro for my channel, and when I hit play, there is no sound, but that's whatever. When I hit the RAM Preview it works fine. After I did the pre-render to get it into a video file, the video exists, but it was choppy, the audio too. Then, I just tried again, except this time the video is choppy and there is no sound. Can you help me with any of this? I'm not big with these kinds of things so forgive me if it is stupid.

[@piper9743]

Ok hi! So i just got after affects today. And so my question is how to make the clip longer. So basically i have an audio clip and its like 23 seconds. I click the RAM preview button and it seems it only records 3 seconds or 4 of it. Please help!!

[@edwinwee6897]

Hey bro, My video has audio. However when i insert music in the background, my video in the video disappears. Can u advises please?

[@rizkyalvian9935]

[@mrcrossyy3030]

quick simple question I am a vine editor and inn new to AE & how I get my audio is I have a 6 second video of the song i want, i put it in the foreground over my actually edit in iMovie and i was wondering if I can't do that in AE

[@theminecraftnerd1950]

did you add new links because i was on this video a couple of weeks ago and i cant find a free audio website they all cost money. last time there was a free one.

[@rossfinocchiaro8994]

Hey! Was wondering if there is a way to hear the audio every time I press play while working on the project without having to hit the RAM preview. Thanks!

[@BannWorthRulz]

Hey man quick question. When I render my file, the video renders really fast, then my audio file take for ever. Its only 5 seconds long and when its finally done the file is about 8GB, WTH?

[@SparkGraphicsHD]

Please help me! When i add my music in After Effects i cant hear any sound, even when i use the ram preview! please help me out! :)

[@360spider06]

question do you have to preneder then render with the audio selected? or just go right to the render with audio?

[@AngelX712]

Wait the file needs to be wav or MP4 to work?

[@macdon401]

Hello, I have not used AE for a bit and have forgotten a few things, maybe you can help me, Im trying to add a song to an edit/slideshow I have done, when I RAM preview it the audio is racing and sounds like the chipmonks are playing,LOL???? The file is an MP4 or MP3, thank you in advance !

[@HintRexohh]

Hey Thechnologyguru77 :) I added a song to my timeline but the thing is is that it is Slow Motion... Any help?

[@HintRexohh]

Rexohh Technologyguru77*

[@DethDragon13]

I try to render with the audio box under the render settings checked, however the render process stops after one frame... Help me out?

[@GETOWNEDGAMNG]

what do you suggest when you render? like on output?

[@treyfreeman5992]

What if I don't have a particular audio file? Say I want the audio that was already in the raw footage (I recorded myself playing the piano.) How can I get that audio into the footage?

[@MirzanDo]

Hi, I'd like to use the intro audio you have on this video for a youtube video of my own. Did you create it from and may I?

[@ichigofangirl101]

thank you so much! I download adobe after effects cs5 and I just could figure out how to get the audio working and I was getting really upset. I thought I broke my computer somehow. I can't believe it was really that simple as a button. wow. thanks again. ^-^

[@DustyPorter]

You are welcome! Very glad I could help you out.

[@egedits6703]

On the preview part. It says" After effects error: RAM preview needs 2 or more frames to playback. What does this mean"? Please reply. Thankyou

[@Mincrafter4theday]

the blue i see must be unrendered right? what do i do to fix this problem: i re render and while i do i see blue apearing behind me and it wont render properly what do i do?

[@MrTazorcinema]

How to sync your video with the audio then?You have to RAM Preview it every time? Can we make the audio in waveform?

[@canoai]

My question exactly I have found you can listen to audio from your timeline just like video pressing control. You can Ram Preview for little Adjustments when your done.

[@STANNco]

this dosen't work. when i click ram preview t plays trough the sound, and when it's done i can't hear it when i hit play. another thing is that i can't click on anything, after pressed the button. if i do that, it stops rendering. i cant even go out of te tab D:

[@MalangaHorse]

Thanks a lot for the help. I was going crazy trying to remember how to get the audio while working on the video editing. As always, a simple button click!

[@DustyPorter]

MalangaHorse Great! Glad to help!

[@DrunkMonkeyProductions]

when i add my sound it either plays it really fast or really slow. and i dont know how to fix it. what do i do

[@iphonepunker]

[@DustyPorter]

Kevin Ayres Great! Glad I could help

[@DustyPorter]

[@MarioGaming101]

Technologyguru77 thanks

[@Shinvixv]

Thanks man

[@canoai]

What if I have +250 layers and it takes 2 seconds to render 1 frame. This is bullshit I just want to syncronise the track I have made but can't even do that...

[@bool2max]

You are bullshit.

[@canoai]

Bogdan Mitrovic When you have a big scene in takes time to render you know. Anyway I rendered my scene as a video. Imported it to premiere did the sound design, then rendered it again in after effects. Thats the best way with big scenes. I think

[@bool2max]

Can Karako Yeah I did the same.

[@canoai]

Bogdan Mitrovic Don't call me bullshit than :D

[@bool2max]

Can Karako :P
